About
Are you interested in science and mathematics? The Natural Science Program meets all the requirements for university admission and prepares you for further studies to become a doctor, pharmacist, veterinarian, civil engineer, architect, pilot, dentist, and many other professions.
The Natural Science specialization includes more mathematics and physics, while the Natural Science and Society track combines science with subjects such as criminology and geography. You choose your specialization before the start of Year 2, giving you time to experience the pace and level of mathematics before making your decision.
The program
The Natural Science Program is a higher education preparatory program. On graduating from this program you will be prepared for further education in primarily natural sciences, mathematics and technology but also in other areas.
Students learn about contexts in nature, about conditions of life, physical phenomena and events and chemical processes. In biology, physics and chemistry the world that surrounds us is described in models developed through an interaction of experiments and theory.
The Natural Science Program at Amerikanska Gymnasiet
At Amerikanska Gymnasiet you can choose either orientation in the Natural Science program. You make this choice before the start of Year 2. During Year 1 all the courses are the same for this program. This means that you can make a more considered choice as you do not need to make the decision in Year 9.
Qualification for university or college is the same for both orientations and through your individual choices you can meet the special requirements for university admission. If you study Natural Science and Society you can use your individual choices to study Mathematics 4 and Physics 2 in order to meet all the special requirements for admission.

The Natural Science Orientation
The Natural Science specialization provides in-depth knowledge in biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
We aim for teaching in the natural science subjects to reflect higher education, which is why our schools have modern laboratories that allow for more practical experiments.
This specialization includes more mathematics and physics than the Natural Science and Social Science track.
The Natural Science and Society Orientation – Criminology
The specialization in Natural Science and Social Science provides knowledge in natural science, social studies, and geography.
This track includes less mathematics and physics than the Natural Science specialization.
Criminology is a subject that sparks great interest within the program. Connections to real cases and legal examples make the lessons engaging and relevant.
