How many A levels is applied science worth?
The Extended Diploma is equivalent in size to 3 A levels. This means that you would only study this course and not do any other subjects alongside. The Extended Certificate is equivalent to one A level.
What is Level 3 applied science?
The BTEC Level 3 Foundation / Extended Diploma in Applied Science will allow students to develop the practical skills and theoretical knowledge for progression in the sciences. Students will learn how to work safely within a laboratory environment and how to use maths and statistics to analyse experimental data.
What can I do with Applied Science BTEC?
Completion of the course will enable you to pursue a career as a science technician in a laboratory or progress to a higher education qualification such as an HNC, HND or university degree and go on to a career in nursing, radiography, pharmacy, chemical engineering, biochemistry, veterinary science or forensics.
Can I do pharmacy with BTEC Level 3 applied science?

What can applied science lead to?
Qualifications in Applied Science can lead to a career in a range of areas including forensic, medical, laboratory or industrial science, depending on the specialist units taught. The course also provides progression to higher education courses such as forensic chemistry, biological sciences or audiology.
What subjects can I do with applied science?
Students can progress directly into work, apprenticeships or a wide range of science-based degree level courses including: Biomedical Science, Sports Therapy, Pharmaceutical Science, Paramedic Science, Radiography, Biological Life Sciences, Nursing, Veterinary Nursing and Applied Chemistry.
Why should I study applied science?
Studying this qualification will enable learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of scientific principles, as well as those scientific practical skills recognised by higher education institutions and employers to be most important.
What is science applied GCSE?
Our GCSE Applied Science (Double Award) specification utilises a context led approach to science learning and assessment. It provides learners with a broad, coherent, practical, satisfying and worthwhile course of study.
Is Applied Science Double Award?
The Science (Double Award) and Applied Science (Double Award) are of equal volume and difficulty. The new applied GCSEs offer an alternative choice to help cater for the different needs of learners by providing enriching learning through more real life context.
What is science BTEC?
A BTEC National Level 3 in Applied Science will provide a broad-based science education in combination with transferrable skills which would lead into higher education or science-based careers. The extended diploma course carries UCAS points equivalent to 3 A-levels and is accepted by over 95% of universities.
Is additional and combined science the same?
Additional science is the same as double award science. There is “core science” which covers enough of all 3 sciences to give 1 GCSE. Then there is “double award” or “additional science” which covers enough material in all 3 sciences to give a pupil 2 GCSE grades.
Can you get a 9 in combined science?
GCSE Combined Science: new grading system GCSE Combined Science students will receive a double grade on a 17-point scale, from 9-9 to 1-1. There are 17 possible grade combinations, for example, (9-9), (9-8), (8-8), (8-7) – through to (1-1).
Is Triple Science harder than combined?
Both combined and triple science cover the same modules in every science but combined clearly has less material to cover than triple. However the material not covered is a mix of the harder and easier, so combined science is not easier – just covers less.
