Frequently asked questions.

• What does Applied Science actually mean?

  Applied Science combines the study of Biology, Chemistry and Physics but with a focus on how the skills you learn in each area can be used and applied in various real-world scenarios, careers and industries.

• What do we actually study?

  You learn a core range of skills including scientific procedures, investigation skills and laboratory techniques. You will then have the choice of two optional units from:

  • Physiology of Human Body Systems

  • Microbiology and Microbiological Techniques

  • Electrical Circuits and their Applications

  • Genetics and Genetic Engineering

  • Human Regulation and Reproduction

  • Biological Molecules and Biochemical Processes

• Can I go to university with a BTEC Applied Science?

  Absolutely - the majority of students go on to study at universities and NCC have great links with the University of East London, University of East Anglia, Anglia Ruskin University and London South Bank.

  Past NCC students have progressed into numerous industries including pharmacists, radiographers, medical microbiologists, teachers, nurses, anaesthetists and technicians.
