Why choose the BTEC L3 Sub Diploma Science - Single? Carmel College has a strong tradition of successful science teaching over many years. Level 3 Applied Science is a very well structured, practical science course leading to nationally recognised qualifications: National Extended Certificate equal to 1 A Level National Diploma equal to 2 A Levels.

We will teach you the research and study skills you will need for success. There will also be opportunities to visit scientific workplaces to learn how science and scientific skills are used professionally. Such visits will allow you to gain ideas about career opportunities in science. As well as using ICT for presenting your work, you will also be encouraged to use it for research and for monitoring and recording experimental work.
