T Level Science - Laboratory Sciences Level 3

T Level Science - Laboratory Sciences (Level 3) at Kirklees College is a two-year, full-time college qualification designed to prepare students for careers in laboratory science. The course covers A-level standard science across biology, chemistry and physics, and includes topics such as the cell cycle, cellular respiration, scientific methodology, experimental equipment and techniques, and the ethics of science.

The programme combines theoretical study with real-life practical skills and sector knowledge, teaching regulations, data management and the principles of good scientific and clinical practice. Students complete an industry placement that can be undertaken in a variety of settings including the NHS, schools, textile laboratories, quality control environments and chemical processing plant labs.

On completion, learners can progress to higher education, employment or apprenticeships, and into roles such as laboratory technician, technical support scientist and laboratory assistant. The course is delivered on campus at the Huddersfield Centre, runs for two academic years, and follows the college academic calendar with a September start and June end each year.
