The focus of our science programmes at CRC is to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to work in science-based industries or to enable progression to an undergraduate degree or further professional qualifications in related areas.

Past science students have gone on to universities including Lancaster, UEA, Southampton, Coventry and Glasgow to study a wide range of subjects, from biochemistry and environmental, to nursing and archaeology. Apprenticeships in the health and bioscience industries are a popular career option and students also go straight into work in industries in the sectors.
