If you enjoy science subjects, practical laboratory work and prefer coursework to exams, this more work relatedly based course, linking the science you study to jobs using scientific skills might suit you. You can study it alongside A level science subjects or other level 3 work related qualifications, making it suitable for entry to science courses in higher education, or going straight into work or an apprenticeship. The course covers the fundamentals of biology, chemistry and physics and is the equivalent of 2 A levels. You'll learn about the important concepts in biology, chemistry and physics and explore the ways in which they are applied in the workplace, from cell biologists diagnosing diseases, materials scientists using chemistry to develop nanomaterials, to automotive engineers applying the laws of physics to designing cars. You'll spend a considerable amount of time in the laboratory, planning and carrying out scientific investigations of the kind that professionals working in the chemical and life sciences industries might undertake. There are additional optional modules covering topics such as the applications of chemistry to industry, biology applications in medicine such as genetics and genetic engineering, materials or forensic science modules and physics applications such as astronomy and space science. Through a mixture of classroom-based theory and practical laboratory-based lessons.
6+ grades at 9-4 including English, Maths and Science.
Through set tasks, coursework and written examinations.
