Studying Biology as part of the IBDP brings a principled, practical and scientific approach to the subject. The specification includes a broad and modern topic spread, including cell and molecular biology, animal and human anatomy and physiology, metabolism, genetics, DNA, ecosystems and human impacts, biodiversity and plant biology. The interaction with the Theory of Knowledge programme brings a questioning, empirical approach to its study. It also explores the application of knowledge in global society taking in the moral, ethical and economic issues arising.
IB HL Biology will suit high-performing pupils who have a demonstrable track record of achieving highest grades in Biology and Chemistry at GCSE/IGCSE level. For pupils wanting to study IB SL Biology, it is not essential that they have studied GCSE/IGCSE Biology and Chemistry, IBMP, or equivalent. An IBDP Biologist should be intellectually curious, organised, independent, creative, collaborative and capable of applying their knowledge in a variety of unfamiliar contexts.
