European Baccalaureate Economics · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The European Baccalaureate is the school-leaving credential of the European Schools and of schools accredited by their Board of Governors. Its name belongs solely to the European Schools, and the diploma is awarded by the Secretary-General on behalf of the Board of Governors. The cycle covers the final two secondary years, s6 and s7, and is built on a comprehensive multilingual curriculum: pupils always combine language, humanities and scientific subjects, with some subjects taught through more than one language. The core includes at least two languages, mathematics at 3 or 5 periods per week, a scientific subject, history and geography taught through a language other than the dominant one, philosophy, physical education, and ethics or religion; options and complementary subjects bring the package to between 31 and 35 periods per week. Topics on this exam: Written examinations (L1, L2, Mathematics compulsory; plus two further written subjects), Oral examinations (L1, L2 or a subject taught through L2 - History or Geography - compulsory; plus two further oral subjects), and Preliminary mark from formative and summative assessment during s7 (A marks and Pre-Baccalaureate examinations).
