NPA Applied Science
Level 5
The NPA in Applied Sciences level 5 has been designed to provide a qualification which will give you a range of skills and knowledge across biology, chemistry and physics as well as practical laboratory skills in each area. You will gain knowledge of cells and how they work, chemical changes and waves and radiation. You will cover a National 5 unit for each science. Knowledge and skills gained through this can then be used to complete the final forensics unit where you will carry out practical forensics techniques and research the use of forensics to solve crimes.
There will be no final exam for this course but instead you will gain you National 5 qualification from a range of internal assessments carried out over the year. These include end of unit checks for the 4 units, research tasks and practical experiments. Successful completion of this can lead on to entry to National 5 Health Sector in S5.
