BTEC Level 3 National Diploma Applied Science (equivalent to 2 A Levels)

Assessment

The majority of the course is made up of internally assessed units. These may involve writing up the findings of your own research, using case studies to explore unfamiliar situations, carrying out projects and demonstrating practical and technical skills using appropriate equipment, procedures and techniques. Your final outcome is based on a unit by unit approach and offers a combination of assessment styles. There are assignments that are assessed internally, written exams and set tasks that are assessed externally.
