BTEC Level 3 in applied science

Scroll to see replies

Hey I know it's 2017, but I got denied in physics and chemistry A levels due to my maths grade being at a C. I was wondering can you become an astronomer with btec science level 3??? (In my corse they focus more on physics and chemistry rather biology they said). I understand that I will have to spend longer in university, and the university I looked at is in Kent, and excepts btec science, in astrophysics, but I would have to spend 5 years in that corse, then do a masters corse in astronomy after that, but I'm still worried I won't get to become an astronomer with btec science so can someone please help?????

Would really appreciate people's advice, I'm doing a BTEC applied science and A level accounting and I'm interested in doing a degree in chemistry. I'm predicted a D*D* and a B in accounting, I'm just unsure if University's will accept this because it's not an extended diploma.
My college doesn't do the extended diploma otherwise i would have picked it

I'm just about to finish BTEC level with a D*, and move onto level 3. My question is are there any university courses? I have an interest in science, which is apparent from my reading material. So are there if any courses which take these.

EDIT: If anyone could find any a link would be appreciated :smile:

Would you be able to help me with my applied science coursework,I am really struggling and I would be grateful if you did as you finished with the D* grades

I am in my last year of studying the BTEC level 3 in applied Science, it has been brilliant and really combines aspects of Chemistry, Biology, but not a great deal of 'Physics' more so statistical sciences. If you have any concern over university acceptance of the course, then please do the background research and come to a conclusion - obviously universities like Cambridge will not accept BTEC's due to their traditional entrance process.

BTEC level 3 applied science is a very demanding course which requires you to keep on top of the work load. I always have said even if you are intelligent, you need also to be punctual and organised; or else you will quickly fall behind.

In regards to university application; I am predicted a DDM and have been offered a conditional place to study Chemistry at Loughborough university. Many of my friends also in my class have been offered places at universities. So yes in essence, this BTEC course does allow you to progress into university and straight into a job also :-)

can I ask you because you are doing btec level 3 applied science. So now I’m studying level 2 applied science, I wanted to do level3 applied science extended diploma next year, but my tutor told me that because of my age I have to pay the second year for the applied science so he recommended that I can do access course. So I’m asking if you can advise me on what course should I take and which one is better and have more opportunities for university courses.
Thanks
