Biology is an exciting and rapidly expanding field of study. If you are interested in how the body works, the effects of disease, cell function and the microscopic world, advances in gene technology and the impact of human activity on ecosystems then biology could be for you. In the UK biotechnology has the highest earnings of any industrial sector. The study of biology, in common with other sciences, can open the door to a wide range of cutting edge and well paid careers. The A level course will improve your scientific literacy in a technology driven world and you will gain an understanding of the ethical considerations involved.
For Sixth Form entry, we will require predicted grades as well as actual grades in the summer, to ensure that our published entry requirements are met. Pupils will need satisfactory IGCSE or GCSE results in at least six subjects at grades 9-4 (A* to C ) and typically a minimum of grade 7 or 6 (A or B) in the chosen areas of Sixth Form study. Exceptions to this may be made for those following a Specialist Music course.
Three written papers, two of 1 hour 45 minutes and one of 2 hours 30 minutes on the following: • Biological Molecules • Cells, Viruses and Reproduction of Living Things • Classification and Biodiversity • Exchange and Transport • Energy for Biological Processes • Microbiology and Pathogens • Modern Genetics • Origins of Genetic Variation • Control Systems • Ecosystems
