Biology covers a wide range of topics that help us to understand the world around us, from explaining the structure and function of organs within our body to discussing the bene ts of maintaining biodiversity. New discoveries and advances are continually being made in the eld of biology and you will learn about the principles behind techniques such as stem cell therapies and DNA technologies.
Normally we would consider the candidate’s projected or actual GCSE results. Generally we expect candidates to obtain at least five GCSEs at grade 5 and above in order to follow an AS/A level programme, with at least grade 6 in the subjects selected for studying at A level, or in relevant subjects where a student is starting a subject from scratch (such as Psychology or Business Studies). We reserve the right to alter these expectations on a case-by-case basis. Those not undertaking GCSEs will need to show suitable ability.
