T-Level Science

Our Facilities

Students spend 80% of their time in a lab-based environment at UAH. T Level Science is delivered in our well-equipped laboratories situated in the School’s science block and provide students with a wealth of opportunities to learn, practise and experiment in superb, modern facilities.

Uniform:

Students wear protective lab coats over smart workwear and will have access to goggles (when required). They are expected to wear their distinctive purple T Level lanyard at all times.
