Pearson BTEC Level 5 HND in Applied Science - Forensic (H5SR1F)

Students must pass the BTEC Level 4 HNC in Applied Science (Forensic Science) course

This course is aimed at students who are 19 years and older.

Formative assessments are a key feature of the course. We expect to engage formatively with students via practical activities as a routine feature.

In addition, generic feedback on both interim and end assessments will be accessible using the Microsoft Teams platform for a range of modules.

This strategy coupled to traditional timetabled face-to-face feedback throughout the course is expected to develop the student understanding of expectations of graduate performance levels and should form part of the on-line reflective feedback process.

Learning activities are focused on moving towards student-centred learning from a more tutor centred approach. Level 5 modules are a little more student-centred, with tutors acting to facilitate students’ learning.

Students will be presented with theoretical information in lecture sessions and then will use workshops, group tutorials, seminars, on-line forums, electronic tutorials, directed reading and a range of IT-based activities and formative assessments to develop these concepts.
