Level 3
Science, T Level
This qualification is suitable for post-16 students looking to develop both knowledge and practical skills in the science sector.
This technical qualification will support students onto a range of progression routes including employment, higher education and higher apprenticeships.
The curriculum is designed in collaboration with a wide range of local employers, which will ensure that learners are fully prepared for the demands of working within scientific fields and will develop a network of employers over their two years.
As this is a T Level qualification, students will complete a work placement, with a relevant organisation.
