You will study a Level 3 qualification in Applied Science or Sport and Exercise Science (equivalent to A levels).

The course is assessed through both coursework and exams. This offers an alternative to traditional, exam-based A-Levels, which many students prefer.

Professional Pathways students also have exclusive opportunities to engage with top employers and universities who will deliver sessions, workshops and events throughout the course.
