In Canada, the Netherlands, and other places, the [[Bachelor of Applied Science]] (BASc) is sometimes equivalent to the [[Bachelor of Engineering]] and is classified as a professional degree. This is based on the age of the school where applied science used to include boiler making, surveying, and engineering. There are also Bachelor of Applied Science degrees in Child Studies. The BASc tends to focus more on the application of the [[engineering sciences]]. In Australia and New Zealand, this degree is awarded in various fields of study and is considered a highly specialized professional degree.{{cn|date=June 2024}}

In [[Education in the United Kingdom|the United Kingdom's educational system]], Applied Science refers to a suite of "vocational" science qualifications that run alongside "traditional" [[General Certificate of Secondary Education]] or [[A-Level]] Sciences.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/sites/default/files/An%20invisible%20revolution_Applied%20Science%20in%20the%2014_19%20curriculum.pdf|title=Applied Science – an invisible revolution?|first=Jim|last=Donnelly|publisher=[[Nuffield Foundation]]|access-date=16 October 2015|archive-date=8 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308060631/http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/sites/default/files/An%20invisible%20revolution_Applied%20Science%20in%20the%2014_19%20curriculum.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Applied Science courses generally contain more coursework (also known as portfolio or internally assessed work) compared to their traditional counterparts. These are an evolution of the GNVQ qualifications offered up to 2005. These courses regularly come under scrutiny and are due for review following the Wolf Report 2011;<ref>{{cite report|url=https://www.education.gov.uk/publications/standard/publicationDetail/Page1/DFE-00031-2011|title=Review of Vocational Education – The Wolf Report|first=Alison|last=Wolf|date=March 2011|docket=DFE-00031-2011|publisher=Department for Education and Department for Business, Innovation & Skills|access-date=16 October 2015|archive-date=21 January 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130121023238/https://www.education.gov.uk/publications/standard/publicationDetail/Page1/DFE-00031-2011 |url-status=live}}</ref> however, their merits are argued elsewhere.<ref>{{cite report |first1=Jacqueline |last1=Bell |first2=Jim |last2=Donnelly |title=Positioning Applied Science In Schools: Uncertainty, Opportunity and Risk in Curriculum Reform  |url= http://www.education.leeds.ac.uk/research/files/78.pdf |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111003001238/http://www.education.leeds.ac.uk/research/files/78.pdf |archive-date=3 October 2011 |others=published by the Centre for Studies in Science & Mathematics Education |publisher=University of Leeds |date=2007 |access-date=16 October 2015}}</ref>

In the United States, [[The College of William & Mary]] offers an [[Minor (academic)|undergraduate minor]] as well as [[Master of Science]] and [[Doctor of Philosophy]] degrees in "applied science". Courses and research cover varied fields, including [[neuroscience]], [[optics]], [[materials science and engineering]], [[nondestructive testing]], and [[nuclear magnetic resonance]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wm.edu/as/appliedscience/ |publisher=William & Mary |title=Applied Science |access-date=16 October 2015}}</ref> [[University of Nebraska–Lincoln]] offers a Bachelor of Science in applied science, an online completion Bachelor of Science in applied science, and a Master of Applied Science. Coursework is centered on science, agriculture, and natural resources with a wide range of options, including ecology, food genetics, entrepreneurship, economics, policy, animal science, and plant science.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://appliedscience.unl.edu/ |publisher=University of Nebraska–Lincoln |title=Applied Science |access-date=1 January 2013 |archive-date=29 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121029124647/http://appliedscience.unl.edu/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In New York City, the Bloomberg administration awarded the consortium of Cornell-Technion $100 million in City capital to construct the universities' proposed Applied Sciences campus on Roosevelt Island.<ref>{{cite press release |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Mayor Bloomberg, Cornell President Skorton and Technion President Lavie announce historic partnership to build a new applied sciences campus on Roosevelt Island |url=http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.c0935b9a57bb4ef3daf2f1c701c789a0/index.jsp?pageID=mayor_press_release&catID=1194&doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fom%2Fhtml%2F2011b%2Fpr444-11.html&cc=unused1978&rc=1194&ndi=1 |publisher=The City of New York |agency=Office of the Mayor |date=19 December 2011 |access-date=16 October 2015}}</ref>
