Biology is arguably the most talked about science in the 21st century. From Dolly the Sheep and the latest genetic advances to the spread of new diseases and GM crops, there is no doubt that Biology touches all of our lives. Over the last few years we have all become experts in lateral flow and PCR tests, but how do these actually work? And why is the Pfizer vaccine so revolutionary in its approach? Study A Level Biology and you’ll find out. Biology A level is essential for applications to a large number of university courses, including most Medical courses as well as Physiotherapy, Veterinary Science and Dentistry. However, A Level Biology is fascinating in its own right and is an excellent supporting subject for any course.
A grade 6 or above in GCSE Biology (or a grade 77 at GCSE Combined Science) is required to start this course. Competent mathematical ability will also be important, with 10% of the final exam marks based on mathematical skills. Enthusiasm, good organisation, determination and a passion for the subject are also of enormous importance.
Experimental technique forms the foundation of any science based course and Biology is no different. The practical work will be assessed through mandatory experiments as specified by the exam board as well as being assessed in the written papers. We also run a Field Trip in order to develop practical skills outside the classroom.
