Why do Applied Science?
Do you love practical science activities? Do you work best with more portfolio work rather than formal written examinations? If you enjoy all three sciences – particularly Biology and Chemistry – and can’t decide which one to do at college, this might be the subject for you. This new and exciting course focuses on the practical applications of science and not as much on the theories of the more traditional single subjects. The course can be taken as one or two A-Levels.
