Bringing science learning to life
The Diploma in Science is a new qualification
for those aged 14-19 year olds and is being developed
now. The Foundation and Higher levels will launch
in September 2011 and the Advanced level in September
2012.
The Diploma in Science will become part of a new suite of
qualifications and will sit alongside the traditional educational
pathways of GCSEs and A Levels. This qualification will offer
students an alternative route of study, blending classroom-based
learning with work-related practical experience, which allows
students to keep their options open.
Students will understand how to apply theory
and practice and be able to make informed decisions about their
future.
This new qualification will:
- equip students with essential skills to
prepare them for work and continuing education
- be a challenging qualification valued both by industry and
education
- provide flexibility and choice and give students a variety of
study options
