Molecular biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and physiology — with substantial laboratory work. The most fundamental science for any student considering medicine, life sciences, or research. Taught at a university-entry level, it demands both conceptual understanding and practical lab skills.

A broad introduction to how computing shapes the world — data, the internet, algorithms, cybersecurity, and the social impact of technology. Far less code than CS A. Ideal for any student who will live and work in a digital world, regardless of their intended major. A gateway course, not a specialisation.

Limits, derivatives, and integrals — one semester of university calculus. The mathematical language of change and motion. Required or strongly preferred for engineering, physics, economics, and medicine. If a student wants to study anything quantitative at university, this is the foundation.

The essential bridge from algebra into calculus — covering functions, trigonometry, exponentials, and polar coordinates. Not a destination in itself, but the preparation that makes every higherlevel maths and science course accessible. Students who skip this often struggle later.

How individuals and businesses make decisions — markets, supply and demand, pricing, competition, and behavioural economics. The thinking framework you use every time you negotiate, price a product, or weigh a trade-off. Directly applicable to business and everyday life.
