You will require a Merit in BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Applied Science (60 credits), and a standard of literacy and numeracy supported by a general education equivalent to 5 GCSEs at grades 9-5 including science, additional science, mathematics and English language, as well as a reference from your last/current school.

Please apply online via the green button and we will be in touch shortly.

You will study a wide range of science units based on Biology, Chemistry and Physics, Biological Molecules, Genetic information, variation, and relationships between organisms. These units cover many diverse aspects of scientific investigation, as the purpose of this course is to gain both a theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and experience for this field of study. You will complete:
· AAQ BTEC in Applied Science,
· AAQ BTEC in Medical Science and
· A Level Biology (AQA)

All units will be assessed and graded, and an overall grade for the qualification is awarded at the end of the programme.

For AAQ in BTEC Applied Science and AAQ in Medical Science
To achieve a pass grade for the qualification you must complete and achieve a minimum of a pass in all units. Units will be assessed by controlled assessment and External BTEC Pearson Exams

For A Level Biology (AQA)
During the first year, you will have an initial assessment followed by four progress assessments throughout Year 12. You must pass the assessment at the end of the first year to progress on to the second year. At the end of the second year, you will sit three public examinations. You will also be assessed throughout the year on the practical work you complete to achieve your practical endorsement.

Equivalent to 3 A levels:
Pearson Level 3 Alternative Academic Qualification BTEC National in Medical Science (Extended Certificate) – Equivalent to One A level;
