Science Courses at DCG

DCG can give you a head start in a broad spectrum of scientific professions which offer huge potential and opportunity….

…From pioneering medical advances to conducting psychological research, from investigating crime scenes to exploring space technology, from ensuring the safety of our food to undertaking complex analytical processes, the career paths open to skilled scientists are diverse, exciting and rewarding. With the success of vaccine developments during the pandemic, the profile of science has never been higher.

The T Level in Science is a high-quality and well-structured alternative to A-levels and apprenticeships, the two-year T Level in Science combines classroom theory, practical learning and a significant industry placement. Your core knowledge and skills will be assessed through an examination and a practical employer-set project and your final T Level qualification will be equivalent to three A-levels. If you do not have the grades to embark on the T Level straight away, you can always consider our Level 2 Transition programme as a stepping stone. A broad knowledge base You will gain a solid grounding in the core disciplines of Chemistry, Biology and Physics, with a strong emphasis on the practical investigation and analytical skills you will need for occupations in a vast range of scientific sectors ranging from nanotechnology to nuclear physics, genotyping to organic chemistry. You will also cover themes such as good scientific and clinical practice, working within the science sector, and managing information and data.
