The BTEC in Applied Science has three compulsory topics and one optional topic. The compulsory topics include Principles and Applications of Science, Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques and Science Investigation Skills. We will discuss the optional topic with students within the class as they have many options, including; Astronomy, Human Physiology, Circuits, Disease and Infection, Applications of Organic Chemistry and many more. The content of this qualification has been developed in consultation with academics to ensure that it supports progression to higher education.
Entry to THS Sixth Form is subject to five or more GCSEs being achieved at grade 5 or above, including grade 6s in those subjects chosen for A-level. For alternative qualifications, decisions regarding offers of places will be taken on an individual basis.
Students will be assessed in a variety of different ways which is in keeping with BTEC Applied courses. One of the units will be 3 externally marked written examinations in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, based on content learnt within the first unit. This will be followed up by two units, one of which is more practical based, the other is an extended research project, these will be internally marked. The final unit will be an externally assessed examination which includes a practical write-up, where students will need to plan, record, process, analyse and evaluate scientific findings, using primary and secondary information and data.
