The term double science is used in the English school curriculum context to refer to a course taken by 14-16 year old learners. Double science is a 'broad and balanced' science course (i.e., covering biology, chemistry and physics) that is designed to be taught as the equivalent of two other school timetable subjects, and which provides double certification (two grades) on final examination. That is, it counts as two subjects for purposes such as entry to further education courses.
