This course aims to develop an appreciation of the competencies, skills and knowledge required for higher education and employment in Science based careers. It is designed to give you a detailed understanding of medical science and the application of science to real situations in the workplace. This qualification will provide students with the opportunity to specialise in medical science, and specific areas within this, such as human physiology and medical science techniques in various fields. There are core units in physiology and pathology which will enable you to understand how the body works. These are complemented by units in chemistry, physics as well as mathematics in order to build up a complete scientific picture of how medicine is used today in the workplace.
Qualification explained
BTECs are practical, work-related courses. You learn by completing projects and assignments that are based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands. As well as learning about the employment area you have chosen, you develop the skills you need to start a career. The BTEC National Diploma is equivalent to three A Levels which means when you have finished the course you can choose whether to get a job straight away or go into Higher Education first. A BTEC National Award is equivalent to one A Level so it can be combined with other subjects. A BTEC First Diploma introduces you to the employment area you have chosen and provides a good basis to go on to a more advanced work-related qualification. A BTEC First Diploma is equivalent to four GCSEs grades A* to C and is normally taken at college as a full-time course.
