Applied Science Level 3 Extended Certificate (equivalent to 1 A Level)

Our Applied Science course is designed for students who are interested in learning about Science alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses.

This course is available to study as either an:

Extended Certificate (60-credit course, equivalent to 1 A Level)

Diploma (120-credit course, equivalent to 2 A Levels)

On both of our Applied Science Level 3 courses, throughout the 2-years, you will study:

Principals and Applications of Science

Practical Scientific Procedures and Techniques

Science Investigation Skills, and Physiology of the Human Body

If you are looking to build a study programme with a strong core of scientific study, or are looking to progress to higher education or a career in the STEM industry, then our Level 3 Applied Science Diploma may be the course for you! In addition to the topics studied on the Extended Certificate, the larger Diploma qualification allows you the opportunity to either give breadth to your study by choosing a contrasting subject, or to give your studies more focus by choosing a complementary subject.
