Combined Studies – Science & Social Science

The science and social science package combines applied science, criminology and psychology qualifications. Each qualification is equivalent to one A-Level and is worth up to 56 UCAS points (depending on your grades) which can be used for entry to a wide range of university packages. You will study all three of the qualifications giving you the opportunity to gain up to 168 UCAS points. The science and social science subjects have been selected as they complement each other and provide a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that can be applied to any area of science.
