Who this course is for

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 equally 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.

Entry requirements

GCSEs at average grade 4 or above, including science, maths and English.
