In recent years many A-level Biologists have gone on to study Biology in some way at university, for example, our past students are currently studying medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, biochemistry, midwifery, pharmacology, pharmacy, marine biology, and nursing. Biology involves the study of a wide range of exciting topics, ranging from molecular biology to ecosystems and from microorganisms to human populations. Biology is never far from the headlines and the A-level specification reflects recent developments in the subject such as genetic engineering, stem cell research and epidemiology. It is considered by universities to be a challenging and rigorous academic subject. In year 12 the Biology course covers 4 topics: ● Biological Molecules ● Cells ● Organisms exchange substances with their environment ● Genetic information, variation, and relationships between organisms In year 13 the Biology course covers a further 4 topics: ● Energy transfers in and between organisms ● Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments ● Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems ● The control of gene expression
Students need to have achieve at least 3 grade 5’s and 2 grade 4’s at GCSE level. 6 in GCSE Biology, 6,6 in GCSE Combined Science, 6 in GCSE Maths, and Grade 6 in English, Maths.
In year 12 the Biology course covers 4 topics: These 4 topics are assessed in papers 1 and 3 at the end of year 13. There is no coursework but there are 6 Required Practical Tasks that will be completed throughout year 12. In year 13 the Biology course covers a further 4 topics: These topics are assessed in papers 2 and 3 at the end of year 13. There are another 6 Required Practical Tasks in the A2 course. Successful completion of the 12 required practicals, along with the assessment of practical skills during other experiments will lead to the Practical Endorsement award.
