Aspiring to be an engineer after the IBDP? Learn about the IB subjects for engineering programs. Top engineering universities worldwide have strict IB subject prerequisites, typically requiring HL Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches and HL Physics as absolute essentials.
Standard IB Subject Package for Engineering:
-
HL Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches (Mandatory): The mathematical rigor is non-negotiable.
-
HL Physics (Mandatory): Provides the fundamental scientific principles.
-
HL Chemistry (Highly Recommended): Required for chemical, biomedical, or materials engineering.
-
Strong Supporting Subjects: SL/HL Design Technology, Computer Science, or a second science.
-
Group 1 & 2: Ensure strong grades in English and a second language to meet overall point requirements.
Always check specific university course pages, as requirements can vary (e.g., Cambridge may require three HL sciences/maths).
Targeting engineering? Ensure you meet prerequisites with our HL Math AA, Physics, and Chemistry tutoring, designed to secure top grades for competitive applications. Check with our counsellors for IB subjects for engineering.
