Applied science national diploma?

Post Reply New Topic

NOt sure if this is the right forum for this question but anyway

Was curious if anyone has any opinions on this UK based course, as i have been entertaining the idea of enrolling in it as opposed to studying a-levels. the reason is simply because i didn't take a science subject at GCSE, or else i would have taking science a-levelsinstead. To do this course i need to gain a first diploma in applied science, which is open to anyone basically and my only alternative to taking a GCSE.

Im not sure if it would be right for me, as i've been put of applied subjects from studying 2 applied a-levels for a year. I always took ages on coursework as its demands were kinda ambigious, so i never really knew what level of detail to put into my work for example. Is there a chance that this course comsists of less ambigious tasks? I'm also wondering what kind of career opportunities it presents as opposed to a-levels.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

I don't know the answers to that but I do know of a fully accredited on-line university that hopefully might provide something similar to what you seek?

Athabasca University
