The study of applied science is the perfect, tailor-made qualification for any student who enjoys learning about scientific principles and wants to continue their education through a more “applied” route of learning with fewer examined modules, compared to other science courses offered. This is a two-year course, which has been developed to ensure that progression to higher education is supported. Everyone taking this qualification will study three mandatory units covering: • Principles and Application of Science. • Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques. • Science Investigation Skills.
• The minimum entry criteria for our Level 3 Pathways is at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or equivalent • Grade 4 in mathematics
There are three main forms of assessment for this course. Some units are externally assessed using a written examination under exam conditions. Some units are internally examined, meaning you will complete a series of written/typed assignments using a variety of learning styles which will be approved by your teachers. There is also an additional synoptic assessment which will require you to apply all of your learning throughout the course to a new context/scenario.
