If you’ve got your sights set on a successful, exciting and ultimately rewarding career in the science industry, and want to progress on to Higher Education to further your prospects, then this is the perfect course for you.

Maybe your ambitions lie in biology, chemistry, or physics. Perhaps you dream of working in applied, forensic, or medical science. Maybe you want to work in engineering, sport, food and nutrition; or maybe health and social care is the career for you. This course will provide you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills you need to achieve your future goals.

The Level 3 National Foundation Diploma in Applied Science (Year 1 out of 2) is an advanced, technical qualification equivalent to 1.5 A-level in science and allows you to progress to L3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Applied science for year 2.

Based at our state-of-the-art laboratories, you will get to perform real experiments and hands-on assignments using industry-standard equipment and be taught how to analyse your results. This course allows you to then tailor your modules to the scientific area that most interests you, with study options that include mathematical tools and calculations, biology, chemistry, physics and research in general scientific knowledge.
