IGCSE Marine Science

The benefits of studying Cambridge IGCSE Marine Science

The Cambridge IGCSE Marine Science course stimulates learners’ interest in science of the marine world and enhances their understanding of its relevance to society.

Our Cambridge IGCSE Marine Science home schooling course will help your child to:

• Acquire scientific knowledge and understanding of scientific theories and practice
• Develop a range of practical skills, including working safely with consideration for the environment
• Use scientific data and evidence to solve problems and discuss the limitations of scientific methods
• Communicate effectively and clearly, using appropriate terminology and scientific conventions
• Develop an understanding of responsibility to society and a concern for the environment.

Please note: Practical work is an essential part of the course and it underpins many of the topic areas. The syllabus lists required practicals that the student must carry out or see demonstrated.

Our Wolsey Hall course contains videos for some of the required practicals that we judge difficult for a homeschooling student to carry out. However, students must be able to visit a shoreline, preferably of an ocean or lake, once during the completion of the course for some activities. Students will need a guardian present.
