Hello_IB Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi eveybody! In the future, I would like to study physics and astronomy in university. Does my subject combination look balanced/manageable? A English HL A Finnish SL Mathematics HL Physics HL Biology SL Psychology SL Thank you in advance!

IB`NOT`ez Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) The fact that you're taking two language As, Maths HL and two sciences makes your subject combination very strong, with a nice balance of difficulty and flexibility across a wide range of areas -- also you'll get to get a bilingual diploma thanks to taking a language A other than English! Overall, it looks good. I'd only suggest switching out Biology for Chemistry/Computer Science/ITGS, or even Astronomy if your school offers it (super rare though) as Biology won't seem to help a bit for where you want to aspire to.

thirdcultureteenSH->UK Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I agree with the above poster that it looks like a good subject combination for physics/astronomy! Though I'm not too sure in terms of how manageable it is. It honestly depends on the workload you think you can handle. I know a lot of people who find Maths HL or Physics HL particularly challenging, but if you like the subject and you're prepared to work, you'll definitely be fine!

Djsporting Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Sounds like the combination one must have for that type of course. Make sure you know what you're going into, and then work your hardest. Best of luck Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
