About this course

Free Level 3 Applied Science Course in Batley. Classes run full-time at Batley Girls' High School over two years.

This Pearson Edexcel BTEC covers biology, chemistry, and physics at an advanced level. You'll study scientific principles, laboratory techniques, and data analysis. The course is designed to meet entry requirements for science-based degree programmes at university. It must be taken alongside another science option for most degree applications.

You'll finish with a BTEC National Diploma in Applied Science.

Who this course is for

This will help to provide the entry requirements for many Science based degree programmes at most universities. It will give you the necessary scientific knowledge and understanding for a wide variety of jobs in the Science sector. It is important to note that it does not provide enough Science credit on its own for most Science degree programmes and must be supplemented with another Science option.

How you will learn

Your coursework is assessed throughout the two years, so you build your grade steadily rather than relying on exams alone.
