Substituting Courses From Other Subject Groups
Group 6 subjects are considered electives, thus an IB Diploma candidate may substitute a variety of courses from other subject groups in lieu of taking a Group 6 course. This would result in a student studying an extra language, taking an extra social science or experimental science course, or taking Computer Science or Further Mathematics SL (provided that student is already taking Mathematics HL). The Group 3 Information in a Global Society (ITGS) course or the Group 5 Computer Science would be taken only as sixth subjects, as they do not satisfy the IB Diploma requirements for their respective subject groups.

Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Gloucester. Is’t not the King?
Lear. Ay, every inch a king!
When I do stare, see how the subject quakes!”
