Topics explore key concepts in Biology including: Genetics, evolution and ecosystems; biodiversity, evolution and disease; Communication, homeostasis and energy and exchange and transport. Topic knowledge is assessed in the written examinations and in the practical endorsement, which will allow you to develop a good set of skills in the laboratory through experimental activities that support the teaching of each topic. Biological mathematics and problem-solving skills are fully integrated into teaching and learning.
