The course in Applied Science is intended as an Applied General qualification for post-16 learners who want to continue their education through applied learning and who aim to progress to higher education and ultimately to employment, possibly in the applied science sector. The qualification is equivalent in size to one A Level and aims to give a coherent introduction to study of the applied science sector. This is a course that can run alongside Sport and Exercise Science, Health and Social Care and other Social Science subjects.
To access the Vocational Pathway you will have achieved 5 GCSES at grade 4, which needs to include either GCSE Maths or English (Literature or Language). Vocational courses at merit level can be included within the 5 grades required. Students choosing to study vocational courses can still study A-Level courses if they meet the entry requirements and indeed this is recommended for certain career pathways.
The Level 3 BTEC Certificate is equivalent to 1 A-Level completed over two years. The course includes two externally assessed units, with the rest of the course being completed as internal assessments.
