Biology is the science behind life and all living things. Biology builds on concepts studied previously but delves much further into the depths of all living organisms, mechanisms and life processes. This is the most exciting time to be a biologist. Biologists are working to solve the biggest challenges currently facing humanity and our planet – fighting disease, protecting the environment and feeding our growing population. If you have a love for life, knowing how organisms work, head for figures and enjoy applying your knowledge to real life situations, Biology is for you. . You will study 8 Topics over the two years; Topic 1: Biological molecules, Topic 2: Cells, Topic 3: Organisms exchange substances with their environment, Topic 4: Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms, Topic 5: Energy transfers in and between organisms, Topic 6: Organisms response to changes in their internal and external environments, Topic 7: Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems, Topic 8: The control of gene expression.
Acceptance into the Sixth Form is conditional upon the applicant’s meeting the entrance requirements of the School.
