Associate Diploma in Science and Technology

Core studies cover plant biology, animal biochemistry, earth science, physics and technical writing, alongside investigative techniques and managing innovation. You then choose electives from an extensive list spanning electronics, mechanics, geology, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and climate science, and the diploma concludes with an Industry Project. Suitable for those wanting a broad, genuinely multidisciplinary science qualification rather than a single specialism.

Science and Technology course are essential for future Careers. This course provides a broad based foundation in science and technology. With rapid change now the norm, scientific advancements are coming thick and fast,and with every change comes a new direction for the future. Disciplines are crossing over more than ever. Developments in physics are impacting how we work with biotechnology, and discoveries in chemistry are changing our perspective on climatology and genetics. To reduce career risk and broaden your capacity to take up unseen opportunities as they reveal - you need a broad based education before you begin to even consider specializing.
