Applied Science is an in-depth practical science focused course that also includes a broad range of related fields from engineering, architecture, business, pharmacy, zoology to biomedical science. The course is less weighted towards examinations, so if you are interested in a career involving practical work in a science-based organisation and prefer portfolio-based assessment of your scientific investigations, then this course will appeal to you.
Students will be expected to have five GCSEs at grade 9-5, including a minimum of grade 5 in GCSE English Language or Mathematics and two grade 5s in GCSE single Science subjects or Combined Science.
There are 13 units of study, seven mandatory and six optional. Four of the mandatory units consist of externally assessed examinations. The remaining units are assessed through assignment work.
