Applied Sciences

Course summary

This course is ideal for students who are interested in developing a wide variety of scientific skills across the three main sciences and who are reluctant to commit to a dedicated single science. The course comprises six compulsory general science units and two optional units. The qualification is worth two A Levels and is taught in ten lessons per week over two years by staff from all three sciences. A variety of trips and external visitors are arranged throughout the course to aid understanding and help put various aspects of the course into real life context. The course requires independent work, the ability to research and write reports.
