A Level Biology is the study of living things, and the processes which sustain them. Biologists try to understand every living organism we see around us, from the smallest bacterial cell to the largest mammal; from the tallest tree to microscopic algae. This is fascinating, complex subject and involves studying everything from the molecular structure of cell components to animal behaviour and the interactions of organisms with their environment and each other.
Minimum IELTS 5.5, or equivalent level qualification and successfully passing the college interview process. Students can sit an online English test administered by the college as proof of English level. 5 GCSE passes at Grade C or equivalent.
The 2-year course is externally assessed by 3 examinations at the end of year 2. These exams are Paper 1-Biological processes, Paper 2- Biological Processes and Paper 3- Unified Biology. Mid-way through the course, at the end of year 1, there are 2 school internal examinations used to assess student progress. These are Paper 1- Breadth in Biology and Paper 2- Depth in Biology. There is also a requirement to achieve a pass on the Practical Endorsement component following the successful completion of a minimum of 12 practical experiments from the 12 Practical Assessment Groups (PAGs).
