T Level: Laboratory Science

Course summary

T Level is split into three main sections: 1. Technical qualification is the main, classroom-based element where students study a detailed curriculum covering all aspects of laboratory sciences. 2. Industry placement runs for a minimum of 315 hours overall and will give students practical insights into their sector and an opportunity to embed the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. This will take place in Year 2 and will be at The Francis Crick Institute. 3. English, Maths and digital provision are also built into the classroom-based element of the T Level, meaning students will be given a solid foundation of transferable skills. As well as 15 hours of lessons per week, students will be expected to complete an additional 15 hours of self-directed study including…  Homework, Lab reports, Reading and research, Coursework, Revision and exam preparation. Topics covered in Year 1: Cells, Tissues and Biological Molecules, Genetics, Microbiology and Immunology, Chemical Analysis, Materials and Chemical Properties, Chemical Reactions, Electricity and Magnetism and Waves and Radiation
