Applied Science

Learning science hands-on will broaden your understanding of the world around you, and give you a qualification that’s highly valued by employers and universities.

Our applied science students are encouraged to undertake work placements to gain even more real-world experience, with previous employers including University of Bristol, the NHS, We The Curious and Specsavers.

Starting my course, I believed work experience wasn’t really needed, but getting that experience meant I really stood out to universities. The College supported me to get this vital training and I wouldn’t change a thing.
