The world needs Scientists, not just Doctors or Rocket Scientists but people with technical ability and practical skills. Applied Science is not just about developing your understanding of scientific principles, it is about your practical skills every day; your understanding of key principles; your ability to interpret data and results; your research skills; and your ability to produce high quality work using a range of resources. You will improve your transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are valued in both higher education and in the workplace. This qualification also has a large practical focus so it is great for students who prefer a hands on approach to learning.
