Petroc Prospectus | A-LEVELS (MATHS & SCIENCE) MATHS & SCIENCE
This curriculum area revolves around high-performing STEM subjects. Find out the facts of the world and the universe whilst analysing patterns, space and time. Use experimentation to prove or disprove theory, and practical dissection to learn about the physical world.
BIOLOGY FTB004
Exciting, relevant and sometimes controversial, Biology is frequently in the news. Develop your understanding of a wide range of topics, including Cellular Structure, Physiology, Biochemistry and Gene Technology through a range of stimulating activities. You will need a grade 6 in Biology or grade 6 in both Core Science and Additional Science.
CHEMISTRY FTB005
Prestigious careers like medicine, veterinary science and pharmacy all require a sound knowledge of Chemistry. Building on topics you will have covered at GCSE, you will progress onto new territories such as spectroscopy and the transition metals. You will need a grade 6 in Chemistry or grade 6 in both Core Science and Additional Science.
COMPUTER SCIENCE FTB264
Learn the principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation. This subject will encourage you to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. You will be required to achieve a grade 6 or above in Mathematics.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE FTB014
Discover how humans interact with their environment and if a finite world can supply a growing population. This highly-relevant and topical course will teach you how to analyse real-world problems. You will be required to achieve a grade 5 in two sciences or a grade 5 in both Core Science and Additional Science. You will also need a grade 5 in Maths.
HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE FTB020
Specialist career-related BTEC qualifications which combine practical learning with subject and theory content. Gain the skills, knowledge and experience needed to successfully progress on to university or employment in the social care, social work or healthcare sectors. You will be required to achieve a minimum grade 4 in English and Maths, as well as at least three other GCSEs at grade 4.
MATHEMATICS FTB026
Building on your existing mathematical skills gained in GCSE, you will develop your knowledge of Pure Mathematics using both computer software and scientific calculators to aid learning. To broaden your mathematical experience, you will also study some Applied Mathematics in the form of statistics and mechanics. It is essential that you achieve a minimum of grade 6 in Maths.
FURTHER MATHEMATICS FTB027
Develop your aptitude for Mathematics by delving deeper into the subject and exploring your mathematic abilities. A-level Further Mathematics is a valuable, well-recognised qualification for future life. You will study A-level Maths in year one and A-level Further Maths in year two. You will be required to achieve a grade 7-9 in Maths at GCSE.

2 PHYSICS FTB035
Learn about the basic laws of the universe, and develop your understanding of motion, forces, energy and the behaviour of materials. Gain a deeper understanding of atoms, the nucleus and particle physics. You will need to achieve a grade 6 in Physics or grade 6 in both Core Science and Additional Science and achieve a grade 6 in Maths.
SPORT FTB197
Specialist career-related BTEC qualifications which combines practical learning with subject and theory content. Designed for students who wish to study sports alongside other subjects, this vocationally based course means you will study and be assessed in a variety of ways. You will need to have an enthusiasm for sport, both theoretically and practically. Having taken GCSE PE is an advantage but not essential. A good understanding of Biology will also be an advantage, and we recommend you have a grade 4/5 or above in a related science subject. Regular participation in sport is also required and you will be expected to develop your skills either in one of our sports performance academies or outside of the college environment. You will be required to achieve a minimum grade 4 in English and Maths, as well as at least three other GCSEs at grade 4.
