The A Level Biology course has been designed to naturally progress from Biology GCSE. The course covers topics including biological molecules, cells, organisms, genetic information, genetics, gene expression, evolution and ecosystems.
Entry for external candidates at 16+ is conditional upon a candidate achieving a minimum of 5 GCSE grades 9 – 5 (or equivalent), including a minimum Grade 6 in the subjects proposed for study at A Level or can provide evidence that they would succeed in the given subject at A Level standard. This course would suit you if your curiosity about human physiology and the wider natural world have been piqued but you are frustrated by the superficial explanations offered at GCSE. You must achieve a minimum of a grade 6 in Biology or 6-6 in Combined Science, and a grade 6 in Mathematics, at GCSE, to study Biology at A Level.
There is no coursework on this course. However, your performance during practicals will be assessed. There are three exams at the end of the two years for A Level, all of which are two hours long. At least 15% of the marks for A Level Biology are based on what you learned in your practicals.
