Course summary

The study of IB Biology will lead to an understanding of the living world at all levels using many approaches and techniques. At one end of the scale are molecules that make up cells, and at the other end students will investigate interactions that make entire ecosystems function. From vaccinations to the environment, Biologists will play a crucial role in solving the world’s most challenging problems.

Entry requirements

Boys wishing to study Higher Level Biology are required to get a minimum of a grade 7 at IGCSE/GCSE Biology (or 87 if studying Double Award Science). At least a grade 6 is required for Standard Level.

How you'll be assessed

The subject is examined by two separate theory papers plus internally assessed coursework. The HL course offers a great deal more depth and breadth than SL Biology. HL Biology is an excellent preparation for Biology related degree courses (including Medicine). The Field Trip is compulsory for all IB students and is a chargeable trip.
