Progression
Progression from Additional Science
The Science course plus Additional Science will provide a basis for progressing to AS- and A-level in the sciences. Indeed, by giving more emphasis and space to more fundamental ideas in the sciences, it is hoped to provide a better, and more stimulating, bridge to advanced study than the current Double Award.
Progression from Additional Applied Science
The Science course plus Additional Applied Science provide a good basis for progressing to a range of technical, pre-vocational and vocational courses involving science. The pilot has shown that authentic science-based practice can motivate students of all abilities. They will develop practical skills and knowledge by carrying out standard operating procedures and solving a wide range of problems.
Some pilot students have gone on to study advanced courses such as AS Biology. Generally, pilot teachers see the new AS in Applied Science as a good course to move onto for those who have studied our applied course.
