Applied Science: AS and A2 Level
Applied A levels are vocational alternatives to traditional
A levels. It is possible to combine them with traditional
A levels.
Course details The first year consists of six AS units dealing
with concepts of the scientific method and introductory
work in all three sciences. The second year consists of six
A2 units split between Biology, Chemistry and Physics,
which explore these topics in greater detail.
How is it assessed? Four units are assessed by an external
APPLIED SCIENCE
test. Assessment of the other eight units is by coursework
consisting of both practical and theory-based work.

Course duration One year at AS level. One year at
A2 level.
What do I need to study this subject? You should have at
least four GCSE grades A*-C, including a CC in Double
Science and either a C in English Language with a D in
Mathematics or a C in Mathematics with a D in English
Language.
Where can this lead me? Students who complete the
course successfully can enter higher education or
employment. Past students have gone on to study
pharmaceutical science, biomedical science,
biochemistry, engineering, IT, chemistry, microbiology
and neurology.
What are the enrichment opportunities? Students in the
second year will have an opportunity to participate in the
Comenius project which gives some students the chance
to work with and visit students in Germany and Hungary.
