What the college says
Many students who study the BTEC route consider a career in the research science field or as a technician. However, with the relevant work experience candidates could progress onto careers in management, teaching or higher level research. Other possible career paths could include forensics, food manufacturing, environment and conservation, animal health and breeding, engineering and aerospace. Many organisations look favourably at students who have completed BTEC level 3 qualifications when offering apprenticeships.
