The Individuals and Societies subject group spans a number of social sciences such as History, Geography, Economics, Politics and more.  Students examine events and interactions at a local, regional, national and global level through the lens of the MYP global contexts.

There is a strong focus on critical thinking skills, information literacy and source evaluation, evidence-based arguments and engagement with and evaluation of the research process. 

At BBIS we study in the Integrated Humanities course in the MYP that integrates History, Geography, Economics, Politics and aspects of other social sciences.   At the Diploma Programme level, students will specialise in a discrete humanities course such as History, Psychology, Economics, Business Management etc. which they will study in more depth.
