What will I be doing?

This course covers science in the workplace, the role of the technician or scientific investigator. You’ll study eight mandatory units, two of which include exams:

• Principles of science (examined)
• Chemistry and earth
• Energy and the universe
• Biology and environment
• Applications of chemical substances
• Applications of physical science
• Health applications in science
• Scientific skills (examined)

This combination ensures that you cover key concepts in biology, chemistry and physics, along with an understanding of the work environment for science-based occupations.

These key concepts are further developed in the optional specialist units and are transferable to employment sectors such as health, sport science, forensic science and the nutrition industry. These units include:

• The living body
• Investigating a crime scene
• Chemical analysis and detection
• Exploring our universe

You’ll also be expected to re-sit Science, Mathematics and English GCSE to obtain a C grade, if necessary, for higher level courses.
