Studying Biology at A Level offers you the chance to gain a real understanding of the processes that control animal and plant life. It builds on the foundation of knowledge gained at GCSE and provides the basis for continuing onto biological or related subjects in higher education. It not only deals with facts and functions but also allows you to consider and discuss the implications of developments in modern Biology with reference to social, ethical and moral perspectives. It will allow you to make rational and considered judgements about scientific progress based not just on opinions but also on an understanding of the scientific principles which lie behind these.
The A Level qualifications build on the knowledge, understanding and process skills developed at GCSE. The entry requirement onto the Biology A Level course is a Grade 7 or better in GCSE Biology and a Grade 6 in Mathematics. Those of you who have taken the Double Science GCSE will be expected to have obtained a Grade 7 together with a Grade 6 or better in Mathematics.
