Year 1 Paper 1: Lifestyle, Transport, Genes and Health. This first topic for this paper involves the study of the functioning of the circulatory system and the importance of lifestyle choices to health. Whilst the second topic explores the exchange and transport of materials, DNA, protein synthesis enzymes and monohybrid inheritance within the context of the genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis. Paper 2: Development, Plants and the Environment. This first topic for this paper involves the study of the development of multicellular organisms from single cells to complex individuals. The second topic focuses on the biodiversity and wealth of natural resources used by humans. Year 2 Paper 1: The Natural Environment and Species Survival. This paper involves the study of topics studied for AS Biology plus a topic that builds an appreciation for photosynthesis as a process that underpins the majority of ecosystems. The second topic looks at the wide variety of techniques used by forensic pathologists to determine the identity and the time and cause of death in organisms, including humans. Paper 2: Energy, Exercise and Co-ordination. This paper involves the study of topics studied for AS Biology plus a topic that is centred on the physiological adaptations that enable animals and humans to undertake strenuous exercise. The second topic considers how the working of the nervous system enables us to see. Paper 3: General and Practical Applications in Biology. This paper involves the interpretation and analysing experimental results/data based upon the topics 1 -8. There is also one section with questions based upon a pre-released scientific article.
We would expect that applicants to this course would have grades 9-4 in British GCSE Biology/Science and Mathematics or equivalent grade/mark in their national system of secondary education.
