Possibly to get into higher education or to pursue a particular career, but above all because you are interested in studying this challenging, innovative, practical science and because you enjoy it. A-level Biology is recognised and valued by universities whatever course you ultimately apply for. Students from any set can try the course but will fi nd it diffi cult without Level 8s in IGCSE Science or Level 7+ for Triple. Biology is a great subject to have studied whatever your chosen career path. It helps you get into Medicine, Biomedical Science, Veterinary Science and Natural/Biological Sciences. There are also exciting new opportunities in the expanding fi elds of Food Science, Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering. While some people choose to stick with Biology after university, the vast majority go on to work in Law, Industry or Finance where the analytical skills they have acquired during their Science degree are highly valued and help them stand out from the crowd. We expect enthusiasm, hard work, determination, initiative and willingness to complete work set and submit it on time. A liking for reptiles, etc, is desirable but not compulsory!
Students from any set can try the course but will find it difficult without Level 8s in IGCSE Science or Level 7+ for Triple.
Biology is assessed with 3 written exams taken at the end of 6.2. 15% of each exam is based on practical work. We aim for all students to have the opportunity to join an Opearation Wallacea expedition, usually to Honduras, during their Sixth Form studies.
