Biology is the study of life. Life is a huge area to study so it can be broken down into more manageable chunks such as Physiology, Biochemistry, Phylogeny, Ecology, Genetics, Zoology, Microbiology and Botany. Many pupils opt for Biology because they are genuinely interested in nature or how living things work in general. Many choose Biology because they are looking to pursue a career in Medicine, Sports, Pharmaceuticals or Agriculture. We have had lots of pupils who have gone on to study Biology-related degrees and A Level provides a good foundation for these courses. There is a range of Biological Science degrees that require A Level Biology. These include, but are not limited to, Biology, Zoology, Microbiology, Biomedical Science, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Sports Science, Physical Education, Environmental Science, Nursing, Optometry, Veterinary Science and most Medicine courses. A-level biology is highly regarded by universities and is known as a facilitating subject. This means that it is also of great use when combined with other subjects to get on to a range of degree courses that are seemingly unrelated.
