Work Experience, Trips and Visits
The course is vocational in its delivery and as such you may have the opportunity to visit local commercial and educational science laboratories. These will provide the opportunity to see scientific processes being carried out in the workplace, as well as analytical instrumentation being used.
Trips will include visits to the coroner’s office, attending national science fairs, visiting Drax power station, national museums, local and regional university science departments and an overnight visit to London. The course will also feature guest speakers, where you will be able to ask questions about their role in the workplace e.g. in crime investigation.
