This A Level course has an increased mathematical content and students should take this into consideration when deciding if it is a suitable option. There remains a strong emphasis on practical work and the ability to understand and evaluate experimental procedures is paramount. Assessment is in the form of three two-hour written papers at the end of the two-year course. As ever, Biology is an essential course for those wishing to study medicine or veterinary medicine and can lead to a wide range of Biological degree courses. The world of Biology continues its rapid expansion and development and as such is a fascinating, relevant subject to study. It should be noted, however, that strong GCSE science grades should be obtained before embarking on the A Level.
Although precise programmes of study vary, it is expected that a student would take three A Level subjects, entry being conditional on a student achieving an average of Grade 6 across their GCSEs, including Grade 6 or above in Maths or English Language (or equivalent).
