The world studies EE option allows students to focus on a topic of global significance, which they examine through the lens of at least two DP subjects. Theory of knowledge (TOK) develops a coherent approach to learning that unifies the academic disciplines. In this course on critical thinking, students inquire into the nature of knowing and deepen their understanding of knowledge as a human construction.
