Extended Essay
One of the many strengths of the IB DP programme is the opportunity to develop one’s passions and explore topics that really interest the student.
Extended Essay, the student’s original written work, is a chance to demonstrate knowledge, research and writing skills in the chosen topic.
Literature? Fashion? Linguistics? Psychology? Anatomy? Economy? Aviation? Physics? Computer Science? Anthropology?
Many topics are waiting for a fascinating Extended Essay!
