Applied Sciences

Course summary

This is an exciting vocational course that is recommended for those students who want to obtain a Level 3 qualification in Science but prefer profolio based assessment with a limited amount of exams, covering a wide variety of scientific subjects. It is therefore especially suitable for students who achieved a grade 4 at Combined Science GCSE. This is a two year course which rather than focus on one science discipline, allows the student to access Chemistry, Physics and Biology, in a way that builds knowledge and strong practical skills. The course is taught by subject specialists and is both externally examined and internally assessed. The Extended Certificate is equivalent to an A Level. A Distinction * is equivalent to an A*, a Distinction is equivalent to an A, a merit to a C and a pass is equivalent to an E.
