Biology

Course summary

Biology is one of the broadest and most important subjects in the world today. Put simply, Biology is the study of life. A Level Biology encompasses everything from the molecular study of life processes right up to the study of animal and plant communities. It is a subject in which significant advances occur frequently, particularly in the areas of Genetics and Biotechnology, and many of these cutting-edge developments are studied during the A Level course. The Russell Group refer to Biology as a facilitating subject. If degree choice is undecided, this is one of the subjects that will give the greatest flexibility or “facilitate” in the admissions processes.
