Bachaloria Programming & AI curriculum 2027: every unit, second year

The short answer

Programming & AI in the second Bachaloria year is a specialised subject on the Engineering and Computer Science track, chosen instead of Chemistry. It has seven units in two parts, is taught six lessons a week, and its mark out of 100 counts towards the 600 total.

The units in order

Part one

Unit 1: Information Technology and Society. how technology developed, how AI works, its uses and its ethics.
Unit 2: Cybersecurity. encryption and authentication, network security, and incident response. Explainer
Unit 3: Web Applications. structure, communication, and the frontend. Explainer
Unit 4: Web Design and Media. media, user experience, and evaluating websites.

Part two

Unit 5: Data Collection and Cleaning. collection methods, cleaning and transforming, open data and APIs.
Unit 6: Analysis and Communication. statistical inference, regression, and presenting data visually.
Unit 7: Machine Learning and AI. the fundamentals, neural networks, and large language models and generative AI.

What makes this curriculum different?

It is not only code: it covers security, design, data, statistics and AI. Students who understand the ideas will do better than those who memorise.
Part two has statistics: inference and regression need you to be comfortable with numbers. If Maths is not your strength, start early.
It ends at the newest thing in the field: large language models, like ChatGPT.

What does the exam look like?

The ministry's decision for the second Bachaloria year from 2026/27:

50% multiple-choice and 50% essay questions. You must be able to write the idea in your own words, not just pick an answer.
Two sittings a year (May and July), and your best mark is the one that counts.
You must complete 60% of the weekly and monthly assessments to sit the exam.
