Science Higher Education
Supportorting a vast array of important and in-demand careers.
Industry leading courses
The public profile of scientists has rarely been higher than in recent years, and the value of science-based careers never more obvious. Demand for STEM subject graduates is only going to increase as the government commits to raise R&D investment to £22 billion by 2024, making a degree in science a valuable asset. As wide a field as maths and science is, the focus at University Centre Petroc is on engineering and bioscience.
Entry points include the access courses in science, leading on to foundation degree study; and a technician apprenticeship could lead you straight into any lab-based business.
The courses will cement maths and science disciplines and develop your knowledge in many directions, giving you a chance to discover the area of scientific study that most appeals to your talent and offers clear pathways for a future career.
