This BTEC Science course aims to give students a solid foundation in all three sciences, extending their knowledge from GCSE and providing them with the practical skills needed to progress in a career in science or engineering, both in employment and in Higher Education. This course is designed for students who want to continue with science, but for whom A-Levels are not the chosen pathway. This course is made up of 4 or 8 modules, depending on whether students are entering for the single or double A-Level equivalent. Around 25% of the course is exam assessed, while the remaining units are coursework or controlled assessments.
