To study Applied Sciences at a foundational level you’ll usually need 80 UCAS Tariff points 

From a combination of acceptable Level 3 qualifications. This may include A-level, T Level, BTEC Diplomas/Extended Diplomas, Scottish and Irish Highers, Access to HE Diplomas, or the International Baccalaureate. Foundation degrees typically do not have any subject requirements at A-level, though some knowledge of science subjects would benefit your study.  

To study Applied Sciences at HNC or HND level it’s likely that you’ll need a BTEC Level 3 qualification in Applied Sciences (or a related science subject) and a GCE Advanced Level profile that demonstrates strong performance in a relevant subject or adequate performance in more than one GCE subject; this profile is likely to be supported by GCSE grades A* to C and/or 9 to 4 (or equivalent) in subjects such as Maths and English 

If you complete a foundation degree in Applied Science, you will usually qualify to progress onto a specialist Applied Science course.  

To study Applied Sciences at undergraduate level it’s likely you’ll need 120 UCAS Tariff points from a combination of acceptable Level 3 qualifications which may include: A-level, T Level, BTEC Diplomas/Extended Diplomas, Scottish and Irish Highers, Access to HE Diplomas, or the International Baccalaureate.  

Subject requirements usually include Grade B in A-level in a relevant Applied Science, or a recognised equivalent. You’ll also need GCSE’s in Maths and English Language at minimum grade 4/C, or an equivalent. 

If you have a qualification from outside of the UK or have equivalent qualifications please check the guidelines and requirements for your chosen course.

Usually, to study for a Masters in Applied Science degree you’ll need a strong undergraduate degree in a relevant field.  

That might be a Chemistry or Biology undergraduate degree. Your area of interest or specialism will often inform what qualifications you need. I.e., If you choose to study a Masters in Applied Biology degree, you’ll need to have completed an undergraduate degree in a similar field.  

If you have a qualification from outside of the UK or have equivalent qualifications please check the guidelines and requirements for your chosen course.
