Asha Ibrahim
BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma Applied Science
“The Applied Science course is great as it covers physics, chemistry and biology as well as maths. I especially enjoy the practical lessons we have in chemistry when we get to experiment with solutions and substances. My favourite subject though is definitely forensics – I loved learning all about DNA and fingerprints. It’s so interesting!”
