You will study topics that you are familiar with from GCSE but at a much deeper and more challenging level. In Year 1/AS you will cover cell structure, biological molecules, exchange and transport, biodiversity, evolution, and disease. Year 2 takes you into more depth into homeostasis, communication, energy, genetics, evolution, and ecosystems. You will study these topics both through plants and animals giving you a sound background for any biological-based career or further education.
English GCSE – Grade 5, Mathematics GCSE- Grade 5, Science GCSE- Grade 5
You will study 4 units: Year 1 UNIT 1: Development of practical skills. UNIT 2: Foundations in Biology. UNIT 3: Exchange and transport. UNIT 4: Biodiversity, evolution and disease. This will be assessed through two examinations consisting of Breadth (50%) and Depth (50%). Both examinations cover topics from all three theory modules and some practical skills. You will study 3 units: Year 2 UNIT 1: Practical skills in Biology. UNIT 2: Communication, homeostasis, and energy. UNIT 3: Genetics, evolution, and ecosystems. This will be assessed at the end of the second year through three examinations covering topics from Year 1 and Year 2: Biological Processes (37%), Biological Diversity (37%) and Unified Biology (26%).
