Science, and its wide applications, forms an essential part of the world we live in. It has therefore become increasingly important to gain a qualification in Science. For example, a GCSE Science qualification is generally required for careers in medical services, public and armed services and for teacher training. This is the New GCSE Science and it is a single award. There are several specific reasons for studying GCSE CORE SCIENCE. You may wish to prepare yourself for a higher level science course, e.g. AS/A level or BTEC National courses; you may wish to complement a higher level course, e.g. to support Geography or Sports Science A levels; you may need the qualification for entry to a career such as nursing or teaching or to study alongside a vocational course. The course follows the National Curriculum requirements for Core Science GCSE and will therefore be similar to the course you would have studied at school in year 10. For this reason the emphasis will be on improving your previous knowledge base and developing exam technique. This single 'core science' qualification will provide you with an opportunity to improve your grade in Science. The subject content will be taught in modules, with objective test assessment during the year, focusing on exam technique and developing your understanding of key scientific principles. A wide range of source material will be used to improve your knowledge and skills. Practical work is assessed.
