The course is a mixture of traditional topics such as cell biology and biochemistry, and recent topics such as genetic engineering and other DNA technologies. The first-year course consists of four modules: - Biological molecules - Cells - Organisms exchange substances with their environment - Genetic information, variation, and relationships between organisms The second-year course consists of four further modules: - 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.
- GCSE grade 6 or above in Biology. - OR a GCSE grade 6-6 or above in Trilogy Science. - NB: Trilogy Science students achieving 6/6 can only take ONE Science A-level from Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. Trilogy Science students with 7/7 can do TWO Science A-levels and those with 8/8 can take THREE Science A-levels.
The A-level is assessed by three written papers taken at the end of Upper Sixth. Paper 1 and 2 are structured questions, Paper 3 includes a choice of essay. A separate Practical Endorsement will be taken alongside the A-level and evidence collected in a lab book.
