A level Biology will give you an exciting insight into the contemporary world of biology. It covers the key concepts of biology, with practical skills integrated throughout the course. This combination of academic challenge and practical focus makes the prospect of studying A level Biology highly appealing. You will learn about the core concepts of biology and about the impact of biological research and how it links to everyday life. You will learn to apply your knowledge, investigate and solve problems in a range of contexts. Module 1 – Development of Practical Skills in Biology – the skills of planning, implementing, analysis and evaluation. Module 2 – Foundations in Biology – includes cell structure; biological molecules; nucleotides and nucleic acids; enzymes; biological membranes; cell division, cell diversity and cellular organisation. Module 3 – Exchange and Transport – includes exchange surfaces, transport in animals and plants. Module 4 – Biodiversity, Evolution and Disease – includes communicable diseases, disease prevention and the immune system, biodiversity, classification and evolution. Module 5 – Communication, Homeostasis and Energy – includes communication and homeostasis, excretion as an example of homeostatic control, neuronal communication, hormonal communication, plant and animal responses, photosynthesis, respiration. Module 6 – Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems – includes cellular control, patterns of inheritance, manipulating genomes, cloning and biotechnology, ecosystems, populations and sustainability.
• We have a minimum entry requirement of grade 4 in both Maths and English Language. Additional subject entry requirements for each subject are listed below. There may be some flexibility around these. • English can be either Literature or Language unless specifically stated. • At least a grade 6 in GCSE Biology or 6-6 in GCSE Combined Science and a 6 in Maths.
100% exams. A pass/fail practical endorsement will be reported alongside your grade. This is assessed through the year by your teacher.
