Why study Level 3 Applied Science? The Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Applied Science is intended to be an Applied General qualification for post 16 students wanting to continue their education through applied learning and who aim to progress to higher education, and ultimately to employment, possibly in the applied science sector. The qualification is equivalent in size to one A level and makes up a third of a typical study programme, normally alongside other A level or vocational qualifications at level 3.
Grade 5-5 in Combined Science, Grade 5 in English Language
