Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science (PCMC)
The PCMC subject combination Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science is a widely chosen stream at the pre-university level by students inclined toward software, programming, and computational sciences. Replacing Biology with Computer Science, this combination builds a strong base in logic, algorithms, and mathematical thinking, making it ideal for future tech leaders, coders, and engineers. It balances core scientific principles with practical computing skills.
