Applied Science is the study of Biology, Chemistry and Physics but with a greater focus on how skills in each are used and applied in various real-world scenarios, job sectors and industries. The BTEC Applied Science is equivalent to a full A level. You will study four units. Unit 1 is the Principles of Science and will cover content from A levels in all three science subjects. Unit 2 focuses on Scientific Procedures, assessing practical and experimental techniques. Unit 3 covers Investigation Skills and will assess your ability to plan and carry out rigorous scientific investigations. Unit 4 is the study of Human Physiology and Body Systems. You will be assessed via both coursework and exam.
We have no specific entrance requirements for BTEC applied science
Unit 1 is assessed via formal examinations. You will first take these in May of Year 12, but you will have the option to resit these exams on two further occasions in Year 13. Unit 2 is assessed via completion of four pieces of practical coursework. These pieces of work will be internally assessed by your teachers. Unit 3 is assessed by formal examination at the end of Year 13. Unit 4 is assessed via completion of three pieces of coursework, internally assessed by your teachers.
