The Level 3 Diploma in Applied Science has been developed for learners aged 16+, who enjoy the sciences and want to learn how to apply their skills, knowledge and understanding in food, environmental or human science before progressing on take related courses in higher education. This qualification will give learners the scientific principles and practical techniques to carry out experiments safely and accurately. Learners will have the opportunity to collect, analyse, evaluate and present primary data. They will also evaluate the analytical techniques to improve the quality and collection of data. This will better prepare them to progress to higher education or employment in areas related to food, human or environmental science. The learner will apply their skills, knowledge and understanding to tasks or activities that are relevant to how food, environmental and human sciences are used in the workplace. Having an appreciation of how these are used in work will also help to prepare them for continuing their education in this sector. The Level 3 Diploma in Applied Science is an Applied General qualification which is equivalent to two GCE A levels. It should fill approximately two thirds of a learner’s timetable. This allows for the study of additional vocational or academic qualifications alongside it, e.g. OCR Cambridge Technical in Health and Social Care, Cambridge Technical in Engineering, GCE AS/A level Geography, Physics, Biology or Chemistry which it complements in providing the practical laboratory skills that employers and Universities are looking for. It is recommended that learners starting this qualification will have achieved science qualifications for example GCSEs in Science subjects at grade 4/grade C or above or level 2 vocational qualifications, e.g. OCR Level 2 Cambridge Technical in Science. It is also recommended that they have grade 4/grade C or above in Maths and English GCSE.
