Certificate in Science
A one-year Certificate in Science gives you an introduction to university study, and a wide range of subjects to choose from.
From the natural environment, to our own health and wellbeing, to the technology we use in our everyday lives – science is everywhere. A certificate course puts you on a one-year path to a qualification, or could even be the start of something bigger like a bachelors' degree.
It is scientists who will solve tomorrow’s problems and the future is calling for the next generation of curious minds who can do just that.
