The course covers all aspects of Biology, from the smallest subcellular molecules and the roles they play in living organisms, through cells and organ systems and how they communicate and interrelate, to whole ecosystems that look at the interaction or organisms on a global scale. The course is clearly focused on applying your biological understanding to new situations and, as such, the exams will challenge you to apply your learning to explain current developments and research in Biology.
For the A Level course, a minimum 7 in GCSE Biology or 7/7 Dual Award Science GCSE with 7 in the Biology component. A 7 in Maths and Chemistry are desirable but not essential.
A Level has three exams at the end of Year 13: there are two 135-minute exams and one of 90 minutes. The A Level course allows the certification of practical competence to candidates, most of which is covered on the field course at the end of Year 12.
