What is the EE?
An in-depth study of a focused topic. It is intended to promote high-level research and writing skills, intellectual discovery and creativity. It leads to a major piece of formally presented, structured writing, in which ideas and findings are communicated in a reasoned and coherent manner, appropriate to the subject chosen. Completion of the written essay is followed by a short, concluding interview, or viva voce with the supervisor and IB Diploma Coordinator.
