An understanding of food science and nutrition is relevant to many industries and job roles. Care providers and nutritionists in hospitals use this knowledge, as do sports coaches and fitness instructors. Hotels and restaurants, food manufacturers and government agencies also use this understanding to develop menus, food products and policies that support healthy eating initiatives. Many employment opportunities within the field of food science and nutrition are available to graduates. The Level 3 Diploma in Food Science & Nutrition has been designed to provide you with underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills to progress to further study and training. It offers exciting and interesting experiences that focus on applied learning, ie, through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding in purposeful contexts linked to the food production industry.\
In order to enter the Sixth Form, it is a requirement that you attain an average of Grade 4 from your Key Stage 4 courses and meet the individual subject requirements. It is also a requirement that you will have achieved at least a Grade 4 in Mathematics and English at GCSE level.
Assessment is through a combination of a written examination and external assignments set and marked by the examination board, and two centre marked assignments. Students will be awarded a Distinction, Merit or Pass (these carry equivalent UCAS points as an A, C and E grade at A level respectively).
