Subject Choices For Software Engineering


TheSeventhSloth

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, I am about to start the IB Diploma course in September and have some time to confirm my subject choices. I wish to pursue software engineering and am sure about that. My current subjects are : 

  • Math, Physics and Computer Science HL
  • Business Management, English Lang. & Lit. , Spanish ab initio

The problem is whether or not I should choose chemistry. I'm not bad at chemistry(at least based on my 10th grade results) but I don't particularly like it either. If I choose it, I'll have to give up Computer Science which is the subject I really want to study. So my question is whether or not I need to take chemistry for software engineering. I haven't decided on a specific university(but I want to study in the US or Canada) but I want to know if chemistry is necessary in general.

So without chemistry I have no chance of getting in? What about the US?

Many Canadian universities accept a decent SAT Chemistry subject test score. You may want to double check with particular schools of interest to you. I generally do support HLs in Math/Chem/Physics because usually computer science is not a requirement for many many schools, and most university freshman computer science classes are not very hard or aiming at eliminating students.
