About the course

Applied Science takes a practical and theoretical approach to different areas of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
The course builds on scientific skills and understanding developed in GCSE Science. The emphasis is on real-life applications of scientific concepts and the specification covers the use of biological, chemical and physical techniques in the scientific workplace.
The course contains about 50% practical science and also students will learn to use a range of transferrable skills which include research, collecting and interpreting data, communicating information and self reflection skills. It suits students who prefer a staged approach rather than just relying on terminal exams.
