Course Structure
Both years have exam modules and project work to complete.
In the first-year students learn about the fundamentals of science across Biology Chemistry and Physics. This is accompanied by an experimental project in which students learn the technical and analytical skills required for further science study and work.
In the second-year science and society is studied, giving students experience of the communication of science and its broader impact on the world. This is accompanied by two project pieces that involve learning the skills to research and report on complex scientific topics.
Typically, you will study this course alongside 2 or 3 other A-Level subjects. You can apply for any A-Level combination, however, please be aware that not all subject combinations can be guaranteed. Timetabling constraints mean that some subjects may run at the same time, making it difficult to accommodate every combination. Our team will discuss any clashes with you at the point of enrolment, and we’ll work with you to discuss alternatives where required.
It is not possible to study a combination of A-Level and vocational or T-Level courses together. These pathways are designed differently making it impractical to deliver them side by side.
