Science

With rising industry demand for scientific skills, plus increasing public interest in the world around us and how to protect it for the future, choosing a Science course really can open up a massive range of exciting career options.

Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects are all high on the government’s agenda for supporting the UK’s future competitiveness and growth. This means that STEM is an area of high investment, with constantly evolving techniques and breakthroughs. By choosing this route you will be able to develop key transferable skills and enhance your creativity, while gaining problem-solving and employability skills. 

Our courses are based in our City Hub campus and cover a broad base and open up career opportunities in the NHS and in industries such as life sciences, pharmaceuticals, environmental health, forensics and biochemistry.
