What the college says

You can also combine Applied Science with arts or humanities subjects.​ ​Another attractive feature is that it combines Biology, Chemistry and Physics in one qualification and provides an entry point to vocational Science careers. If you enjoy researching information for yourself and organising it into a really good piece of coursework.​ ​If you are well-organised and good at meeting deadlines, and if you want to do Biology, Chemistry and Physics but not as separate qualifications, then Applied Science may well be a good choice for you.​
