As an A/AS-level Biology student, you will further develop the practical skills gained at GCSE. You will also undertake topics such as foundations in biology (biological molecules and cellular organization); exchange and transport; biodiversity, evolution, and disease; communications, homeostasis, and energy; genetics, evolution, and ecosystems. As a result, you will complete the A-level Biology course with a broad range of knowledge of how living systems work, including the principles of genetics, molecules, taxonomy, natural selection, evolutionary theory, global warming, bacteria, and viruses, amongst others. Modules titles: • Module 1 – Development of practical biology • Module 2 – Foundations in Biology • Module 3 – Exchange and transport • Module 4 – Biodiversity, evolution and disease • Module 5 – Communication, homeostasis and energy • Module 6 – Genetics, evolution and ecosystems
• Separate Science, must have a grade 6 in Biology, with at least two grade 5s in the other sciences. Grade 7-6 in Combined Science where Separate Science is not taken. • Grade 5 in English Literature and/or English Language • Grade 5 in Mathematics
As a student of biology, you will gain a wide range of skills through practical work integrated with theoretical study; and you will be assessed through written papers. Small groups should allow staff to give individual help regularly during lessons. Practice past paper questions and examination of associated mark schemes. Independent Learning Journal online; studying and discussing topics beyond the specification.
