What Our Students Say

“The decision that made me pick between here and other places was when I came to the open day everyone was just really friendly and open, and it just felt like a really welcoming environment to be in.”

Charli

“Because I’ve got autism and I’d sometimes have trouble understanding things – because I need stuff breaking down into detail and explaining to me in a perfect way, in a much more understanding way, I have tutors that understand me a bit more.”

Max

“Before I came to Leeds City College, I was in school, I was in such a bad way at school, skiving lessons all the time, teachers always on my case, getting kicked out numerous times almost. So I applied for here just hoping to get on a course, I got accepted – it was entry Level 3. Dave was my tutor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better as a tutor, because he just helped me. He helped me with every regard, with Maths and English, workshop work, the theory side of the workshop work – telling me how everything is and showing me what’s what.”

About School of Applied Science

Welcome to the School of Applied Science

Here we prepare future scientists, technicians and researchers by allowing them to develop their theoretical and practical knowledge in various branches of science. Students can conduct experiments and gain practical skills in our cutting-edge laboratories.

Our mock pharmacy gives students the opportunity to practise dispensing medicines and carry out clinical consultations. Laboratories are all set up to give students chances to carry out experiments and record their findings.

Fume cupboards, incubators, an NMR machine and 3D printer, allow students to familiarise themselves with the equipment they are likely to find in working laboratories, or on university courses.

Where will I learn?

The School of Applied Science is based at our Park Lane Campus. You will study in purpose-built, fully-equipped laboratories.

Facilities

  • Wet laboratories
  • Mock pharmacy including: dispensary clinical room
