In the final year, students consolidate their understanding of these topics, with SL students typically covering introductory differential calculus, geometry and trigonometry, and number theory, while HL students explore the more advanced extensions . Students finalize their Internal Assessment (IA), an individual mathematical exploration worth 20% of the final grade, where they independently investigate a real-world issue of their choice using mathematical modeling and data analysis . External assessment consists of two examination papers at SL and three papers at HL, with Papers 1 and 2 featuring short-response and extended-response questions, and HL students sitting Paper 3 which contains extended-response problem-solving questions based on unseen stimulus material.
DP Year 2 Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches
The DP Year 2 (Grade 12) Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches (AA) curriculum is the culmination of a two-year course offered at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL). It places a strong emphasis on developing analytical expertise, requiring students to construct, communicate, and justify correct mathematical arguments, with a particular focus on preparing for university-level studies in fields like engineering, the physical sciences, and economics. In the second year, the curriculum delves into advanced topics, including the rigorous study of differential and integral calculus (often paralleling university Calculus I and II), functions, trigonometry, vectors, and proof . Students finalize their internal assessment (IA), an individual mathematical exploration, and prepare for the final IB examinations, which at HL include a third paper designed to test problem-solving skills in depth.
DP Year 1 Computer Science
The DP Year 1 (Grade 11) Computer Science curriculum follows the new syllabus (first teaching August 2025, first assessment May 2027), which is organized into two main themes: Theme A: Concepts of computer science (covering computer fundamentals, networks, databases, and machine learning) and Theme B: Computational thinking and problem-solving (covering computational thinking, programming, object-oriented programming, and abstract data types for HL only) . Students can study the course using either Java or Python programming languages, with both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL) students now studying databases and object-oriented programming as core components, while the former options have been integrated into the core syllabus and the case study is now included for all candidates . The assessment structure consists of two external examination papers and an internal assessment (the computational solution). Paper 1 focuses on Theme A concepts and includes a pre-seen case study component, while Paper 2 concentrates on Theme B problem-solving with questions requiring programming knowledge in either Java or Python . The internal assessment (35 hours for both levels) requires students to develop a computational solution to a real-world problem of their own choosing, applying the computational thinking process and demonstrating their skills in algorithmic thinking and programming, with no client requirement and a maximum 5-minute supporting video.
DP Year 1 Business Management
The DP Year 1 (Grade 11) Business Management curriculum follows the new syllabus (first teaching 2022, first assessment 2024), which is organized around five core units: Introduction to Business Management, Human Resource Management, Finance and Accounts, Marketing, and Operations Management . The course introduces four key interdisciplinary concepts—change, creativity, ethics, and sustainability—that serve as lenses for analysis, along with a prescribed Business Management Toolkit (BMT) of 15 tools and frameworks that students learn to apply across different business contexts . The assessment structure includes external examinations (Papers 1 and 2, plus Paper 3 for HL students only) and a common internal assessment (IA) where students complete a 1,800-word research project investigating a real-world business issue through the lens of one of the four key concepts . Standard Level (SL) requires 150 teaching hours while Higher Level (HL) requires 240 hours, with HL students studying additional extension topics and completing the social enterprise-focused Paper 3.
DP Year 1 Economics
The DP Year 1 (Grade 11) Economics curriculum introduces students to the fundamental principles of microeconomics, including demand and supply, market equilibrium, elasticity, government intervention, and market failure (externalities, public goods) . Students also begin exploring macroeconomics, studying how economists measure economic activity and illustrate its variations through aggregate demand and aggregate supply models, while Higher Level students additionally cover theory of the firm, behavioral economics, and advanced policy analysis . The course emphasizes applying economic theories and models to real-world issues, with students developing skills in data analysis, policy evaluation, and critical thinking . Assessment preparation includes understanding the structure of external examinations (Papers 1 and 2, plus Paper 3 for HL) and beginning work on the internal assessment portfolio—three commentaries analyzing news articles through the lens of different syllabus sections.
DP Year 1 Biology
The DP Year 1 (Grade 11) Biology curriculum follows the new syllabus (first teaching 2023, first assessment 2025), which is organized around four main themes: Unity and Diversity, Form and Function, Interaction and Interdependence, and Continuity and Change . Within these themes, students explore concepts across four levels of organization (Molecules, Cells, Organisms, and Ecosystems), with Higher Level (HL) students covering additional depth and breadth compared to Standard Level (SL) . The course emphasizes practical, inquiry-based learning, requiring students to develop investigative skills through hands-on laboratory work, culminating in an individual Internal Assessment (IA) scientific investigation worth 20% of the final grade . Assessment consists of two external examination papers: Paper 1 (multiple choice and data-based questions) and Paper 2 (data-based, short answer, and extended-response questions), with HL students covering additional syllabus content in both papers and having longer examination times.
DP Year 1 Chemistry
The DP Year 1 (Grade 11) Chemistry curriculum follows the new syllabus (first teaching 2023, first assessment 2025), which is organized around two overarching themes—Structure and Reactivity—that together explain how the structure of matter determines its chemical behavior and reactions . In the first year, students typically cover the foundational Structure topics, including models of the particulate nature of matter (atomic structure, electron configuration, the mole concept), models of bonding and structure (ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding), and the classification of matter through the periodic table and organic functional groups . This foundational knowledge is then applied to the introductory Reactivity topics, which explore the driving forces behind chemical reactions by measuring enthalpy changes and using energy cycles . Throughout the year, students engage in practical work and begin planning their individual scientific investigation, which accounts for 20% of their final grade, while also participating in a collaborative sciences project with peers from other disciplines.
