The course involves taught lessons, practical classes, portfolio building sessions and workshops. Students are expected to work on their coursework outside their timetabled classes.

Some units are assessed by coursework which is internally marked and externally moderated. Students take two externally-examined units each year.

It is also possible to progress into employment in a science-related industry.

Progress from the Foundation Diploma to the Extended Diploma in Applied Science. After completing the Extended Diploma, progress onto a higher education course.
