Applied Science GCE A Level These AS and Advanced GCEs are broad-based vocational qualifications designed to allow students flexible progression routes, moving on to higher education or further training and/or employment.. They are ideal qualifications for those students who want a broad background in science, which will allow them to progress to further or higher education, training or employment. The course of study prescribed by this specification can reasonably be undertaken by candidates entering this vocational area for the first time. Progression through Advanced Level will provide a suitable basis for further study in related subjects in Higher Education as well as a valuable preparation for careers in any area of science. The fundamental philosophy of this specification is that, in order to understand the nature of science, students must actively experience the science environment. This can be achieved through a variety of approaches including work experience, links with local employers, case studies and research. Our study will have no limits and you will apply your knowledge and skills to a variety of weird and wonderful situations.
