Laboratory Sciences T Level

Course Details

What Will I Study?

We offer a T Level (Level 3) in Science with a specialism in Laboratory Science. This is a valuable field, offering many opportunities working in research, technician roles and manufacturing.

T Levels offer a technical alternative to studying three different A Levels.

This course has been designed with employers to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to work within this field. It blends the development of technical knowledge with an industry work placement to provide you with the skills and experience you need to start your healthcare science career. This is a great opportunity for you to work alongside professionals, become part of the team and develop your skills as you put theory into practice.

To enrol on this course you must have a minimum of five GCSEs, three of which must be English, Maths and Science at a minimum of grade 5.

How Will I Be Assessed?

Core modules: there will be two externally set exams at the end of the first year and an employer set project; this is a controlled assessment completed within College and is fully linked to your industry work placement experience.

Specialist modules: there will be three externally set assessments carried out in year two - two exams and one assignment-based.

What could this course lead to?

After successfully completing this course you will be able to progress onto an undergraduate degree in science-related subjects. Alternatively, you may choose to progress to a higher level apprenticeship or into employment within a laboratory setting.
