Applied science covers a broad spectrum of biology, chemistry and physics. Students will study topics relating to all three sciences, and gain a well-respected qualification thatis equivalent to either 1 or 2 A-Levels. Beyond the subject knowledge, the Applied Science course allows students to develop greater practical, investigative and independent research skills than in a traditional A-level. Throughout the course, links will be made to industry and applications of the subject into the real-world to give the student a greater understanding of how science can be applied to contemporary issues. A wide range of transferable skills will be developed that will help students at university and beyond.

The course is made up of different modules, which are assessed in a variety of ways. Some are assessed by completing assignments, which are set and marked internally by your tutors. This coursework is assessed against Pass, Merit, Distinction and Distinction* criteria to determine an overall grade for each unit. Some units are assessed by means of an externally-set examination. Other units are assessed through completion of an externally-set project. This makes this an appealing course for students who may struggle with exam pressure. It also leads to students gaining parts of their final marks across the two years, rather than just in exams at the very end.
