Why choose 360Science?

360Science puts the student at the centre of a world of discovery. But that’s just the start – Edexcel has created a flexible curriculum that will meet the needs of students and teachers alike.

All students, all abilities, altogether

Designed to meet varied needs, 360Science enables students at all levels of ability to achieve their full potential. With exciting content and e-assessed tests, all students will find the subject matter relevant, meaningful and challenging.
 
Work-based qualifications

360Science is the only curriculum to offer BTEC First Certificate and Diploma in Applied Science – the vocational alternative to GCSE. BTEC First qualifications provide work-based learning, are equivalent to GCSE grades A* to C and are 100% internally assessed.
  
In-depth results analysis

Our Results Analysis Service, available through Edexcel Online, provides detailed feedback on students’ performance at both candidate and question level. You can use this feedback to benchmark results against national standards, to compare your performance against other centres and to sort results by teaching group or gender. Find out more about our Results Analysis Service at www.edexcel.org.uk/resultsanalysis.
  
Engaging, electronic examinations

From 2007 onwards, we will offer formative electronic, onscreen assessment for GCSE Science. These engaging assessments will help to make the subject matter more stimulating for students, and give teachers quicker access to results.
  
More chances to succeed

Our curriculum enables all students to perform to their best and recognises the value of teachers’ professional judgement. With 40% internal assessment, students are given the opportunity to excel in non-exam conditions. Students can be assessed at any time, allowing them to be tested on material when it’s fresh, and can take multiple tests before submitting their best performance.
