What does the course involve?

This course is a one year science and maths course as preparation for a science or maths degree at the University of Hertfordshire.

Students are assessed through coursework, exams, presentations and practical assignments.

On successful completion of the initial year, you can continue your degree studies at the University of Hertfordshire, progressing to a variety of science degrees (dependent on your grades), eg Astrophysics, Geography, Pharmaceutical Science, Biomedical Science, Biotechnology, Physiology, Physics, Environmental Studies, Sports Science and Exercise and a range of subjects on the Joint Honours programme.
