This qualification is positioned at UK Level 2, supporting progression to Level 3 study.
IGCSE programmes are also positioned at Level 2. In terms of overall learning size, the 480 GLH Diploma is broadly comparable to a typical multi-subject IGCSE study load (often around 4–5 IGCSE subjects), noting that programmes differ in content and assessment approach.
Pearson BTEC International qualifications are widely delivered across international education settings in the region and are commonly used as progression pathways into Level 3 and pre-tertiary routes, depending on institution requirements.
BTEC International programmes are recognised globally for applied learning and structured skills development, supporting academic progression and vocational readiness.
The qualification provides learners with the skills and knowledge required for entry-level roles in various science-related fields such as:
Laboratory Technician
Environmental Science Assistant
Healthcare Science Support Roles
Roles in industries requiring scientific knowledge, including manufacturing, research, and product development
By developing a strong foundation in science, learners are equipped to pursue careers across a wide range of sectors or continue their studies in higher education.
The diploma is delivered through a structured combination of mandatory and optional units to build scientific understanding and applied skills.
The Level 2 Diploma is a 480 GLH programme delivered over 8 months. Learners complete 10 mandatory units (including 4 Pearson Set Assignment units) and choose at least 6 optional units. Each unit is 30 GLH.
