If you are thinking of a career in education but don't yet have the prerequisite qualifications for university, then this is the right course for you. An Access to Higher Education qualification is a fast-track course that is widely recognised by universities and bridges the gap between existing education and what is needed to study at degree level. The Access to Science pathway is an intensive and challenging one-year course that will give you an overview of the field of science in the 21st century, and help you to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence needed for university and beyond.
The Science Access Course is designed for people interested in studying science courses at university and comprises a rounded science education. The course is also suitable for those wishing to study vocational courses at university such as Diagnostic Radiography, Physiotherapy or Optometry degrees.
The programme is split evenly into three teaching topics - Chemistry, Physics and Biology. A full list of the units studied can be found below:
Chemistry Structure & Bonding Chemical and Acid-Base Equilibria Organic Chemistry Periodicity Reacting amounts
Physics Nuclear Physics Quantum Physics Non Ionising Medical Images (double unit) Medical Uses of Radioisotopes
Biology From Cells to Organ Systems (double unit) Genetics Biological Molecules Body Defences
