What the college says

The underlying principles are rooted in scientific theory so a sound grasp of GCSE level science is essential. Students must also be prepared to undertake additional reading. Some reading material is supplied in Year 12, but a more independent approach is needed in Year 13 to ensure that students can reach the top grades
