Course summary

The HNC Applied Science course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the field of applied science. The course is offered in two pathways, each focusing on specific aspects of applied science, namely Pathway 1: Applied Science (chemistry), and Pathway 2: Applied Science (biology). The course is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the key principles of applied science, as well as hands-on experience in laboratory-based techniques and methodologies. Students will gain a deep understanding of scientific theory, as well as practical skills in data analysis, experimentation, and laboratory safety. The course will also include modules on professional skills, such as communication, teamwork, and project management, which are essential for success in the scientific workplace. What sets this course apart is that it is delivered in partnership with Biograd, a leading provider of scientific research and development services. This partnership ensures that students have access to the latest scientific research and technology, as well as expert guidance from Biograd's team of experienced scientists. As a result, students will gain not only a strong theoretical foundation but also practical experience in the latest scientific techniques and methodologies. This unique partnership also provides students with valuable networking opportunities and a direct path to employment in the scientific industry.
