"I really loved my two years studying Applied Science. Through the assignments I learnt transferable skills that I'm now using at university, both in scientific practices and writing analytically. The teachers went above and beyond to support my learning. I achieved a double Distinction and now I'm studying Biomedical Science at Northumbria University." Helena - BTEC Applied Science 2020-22
