Extended Certificate in Applied Science

Course summary

New at Lytchett Minster School for September 2024 We are planning to offer the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Applied Science (single award, 1 A-level equivalent). This is designed to be studied alongside two other Level 3 courses including BTECs and A-levels. The BTEC Level 3 Nationals in Applied Science are for students seeking an A-level standard science qualification who wish to continue their education through applied learning and who aim to progress to higher education or apprenticeships and ultimately employment in the applied science sector. A qualification in Applied Science can lead to many degree level science courses (when combined with appropriate A-level subjects) including: Psychology, Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Medical professions, Food Science, Communication Industry, Satellite Communications and Materials Science. Students will study across Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
