WHY STUDY BIOLOGY? Biology is a popular subject. Many students enjoy the subject so much that they often choose a biology related degree. Others go on to careers in law, computing, accounting or teaching. Whatever field you decide to work in, you will find biology a very rewarding and challenging course that will develop many of the skills essential for a successful career.
Combined Science: Where students achieve a grade 5-5 or 6-5 (foundation or higher tier entry) they will be able to study one A Level Science subject only in their highest attaining component. Where students attain a grade 6-6 or above (higher tier entry) they will be able to study three A Level Science subjects. Separate Sciences: Grade 6 in GCSE Biology. In addition: Grade 5 in GCSE Maths · Grade 5 in GCSE English Language
The exam, at the end of the first year, will consist of the four topics you will have learnt: • Paper 1: Core cellular biology and microbiology (1 hour 30 minutes). • Paper 2: Core physiology and ecology (1 hour 30 minutes). The A-level exam at the end of the second year will consist of all 10 topics you will have learnt: • Paper 1: Advanced biochemistry, microbiology and genetics (1 hour 45 minutes). • Paper 2: Advanced physiology, evolution and ecology (1 hour 45 minutes). • Paper 3: General and practical principles in biology (2 hours 30 minutes). Science Practical Endorsement (Internally assessed and externally monitored by Edexcel). The core practicals that you will complete over the course will provide opportunities for demonstrating competence in various skills, together with the use of apparatus and techniques in biology. It will not contribute to the overall grade for this qualification, but the result will be recorded on your certificate at the end of the course
