Triple science isn’t harder than double. There’s just more to learn. I.e triple science is double science + 3 extra modules. But the extra modules aren’t harder.

In short, if Science is a subject you enjoy, Triple Science is worth taking. It may prove to be an easier route than Double Science since Double Science students often take an additional subject.

Most top universities prefer applicants for science subjects to have taken the triple award option at GCSE.

Triple Award Science (sometimes known as ‘Separate Sciences’ or ‘Single Sciences’) is where students study all three sciences and end up with three GCSEs. It can cause confusion because, when parents were at school, “Double Science” meant two of the three science subjects.

To have a chance of getting into medical school, you’ll need to have A levels in biology and chemistry plus one other, all preferably As. The other could be physics, but for most it doesn’t matter. Many unis quite like having a non science subject to show variance, some like physics to show a scientific interest.

It is a very good idea to take Triple Science at GCSE if you would like to become a Doctor. Although it is not necessarily required in order to become a Doctor, it will certainly make it easier for you to progress into the field, and you will find the A-Level subjects slightly more manageable.

In short, Triple Science GCSE is definitely worth it since it prepares you really well for A level science subjects, by bridging the gap between GCSE science and A level. It also gives you a solid foundation of biology, chemistry, and physics much better than double science and single science can do.

To work in the medical profession, you will need at least seven GCSEs (or equivalent Level 2 qualifications) including Science, English Language and Maths. Science may be a Double or Triple Award.
