Course summary

It is rare to pick up a newspaper these days and not to find an article or discussion about a biologically related issue. Whether the issue is MRSA superbugs, COVID, designer babies or the cloning of embryos, an understanding of biology has never been so important. Diverse issues such as global warming and fertility treatment are brought together in this important discipline. It could be argued that biology is the fastest moving field in science today. With a qualification in biology, you can go on to higher education to follow a degree course in biology, environmental sciences, medicine, botany, ecology, physiotherapy, genetics, dietetics and ophthalmics as well as appreciating biology as a valuable subject in itself. The course aims to develop interest in, and enthusiasm for, biology that could lead in turn to further study and a career in biology. This popular A level will suit students who are passionate about being deeply informed about the world we live in and its future.
