VWO Physics Course for current IB-students
There is a special VWO Physics Course for students in their final years of the IB programme. This course is planned during the academic year in parallel with the students' school activities. The courses will be organized in blocks (autumn and winter / spring) and has only two sessions a week. The course can therefore be combined with the school schedule. This course is only open for current IB students in the Europe time-zone.
The course will prepare you for the official James Boswell Physics Exam in the Spring. Participating students will be registered for this admission exam. It is possible to write the exam in person in Utrecht (if required) or online (after permission from the university). Please note: Always consult the admission office of the university for admission requirements and possible deadlines.
The course fee includes the study materials including the Binas English Book and the study book, access to the study lab homework sessions and the exam registration following the course.
