Part TimeStudying GCSE will give you a good basic knowledge of Science which will enable you to understand the world around you and also help you to progress onto the next stage of your educational journey. On the course you will study units from each of the core sciences: Biology, Chemistry and Physics.Core Science is a one year course designed to help students acquire a systematic body of knowledge of Science. This may be to supplement or improve on qualifications gained in school, as a foundation to further studies or as a response to a specific need in order to progress in the workplace. Successful completion will also count as a science qualification for primary teaching. Note that in most cases, if you are 16-18 years old and are taking a full-time College course you will be taking English and maths qualifications alongside. You may find that if you also do GCSE Science, you have taken on too much.

Course programme

A genuine interest in the subject and a rationale for taking the course is a key requirement to enrolling on the GCSE programme. This is important as the course requires a high level of self-motivation to complete homework and prepare for the examinations. Applicants will also be required to take a course entry test, and will need to be working at approximately GCSE grade ‘D’ standard. Since the course is only one year long, 100% attendance is also very important to maximise your chances of achieving the GCSE Science award at the end of the course.


Students may require the Core Science GCSE to study Access Science or enter professions such as teaching where GCSE Science is a prerequisite.

The course is divided up equally amongst the three main Sciences and you will study an exciting range of topics across Biology, Chemistry and Physics and these are listed below. In addition to this you will be expected to complete regular practical work and a controlled practical assessment which will count towards your final grade.


Unit 1: Biology 1

Unit 2: Chemistry 1


Unit 3: Physics 1

Unit 4: Controlled Assessment
