The BTEC L2 Applied Science course will allow you to gain further insight into the Science sector. This course provides a unique opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and techniques, essential for anyone interested in a career in Science. The course is delivered through a range of topics enabling you to understand how to research, develop and evaluate your ideas.
You will study a range units; 2 of these units are examined whereas the other units are assessed through coursework.
Some of the compulsory units include:
Work experience is a key part of your course – you will need to find a minimum of 5 days over the course of the academic year to allow you to gain the knowledge of working within the Science industry; this could be at a Pharmacy, GP surgery, Pet Shop, Care home or somewhere else that is related to the Science sector. Your Personal Coach will help you write a plan for potential placements to help you gain this key skill.
You will need to have achieved at least 4 GCSEs at Grade 3 and above, including English, Maths and Science. It is a requirement, however, that you retake GCSE English and Maths as part of your programme, if you do not have Grade 4. This will ensure you can progress to a Level 3 course or apprenticeship, and will improve your future employment prospects.
The course is assessed through coursework, including practical investigations, presentations and open book tests.
You can progress to a Level 3 vocational course, including Science, Engineering, Health & Social Care or IT.
An apprenticeship could also be considered.
You could consider a junior position as a Science Technician or Laboratory Assistant.
Duration: 1 year
