Biology is the scientific extension of the natural human tendency to feel connected with, and curious about, the living world. Biology is for the adventurous. By studying Biology at A level you will be involved in a science at its most exciting period ever. With fresh approaches and new research methods, biologists are now unravelling life’s mysteries and are poised to make an undreamed of contribution to future generations. Although stimulating, the information explosion in Biology can be intimidating. Most of the biologists who have ever lived are alive today and they produce about half a million research articles a year. How then can students and others hope to keep their heads above water in such a pace of discovery? The answer is that all good biologists have a firm grasp of the unifying themes of Biology which are emphasised in the A Level course. By studying Biology at A level you will be involved in a science at its most exciting period ever. With fresh approaches and new research methods, biologists are now unravelling life’s mysteries and are poised to make an undreamed of contribution to future generations. Topics Year 1: • Biological molecules • Cells • Organisms exchange substances with their environment • Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms Year 2: • Energy transfers in and between organisms • How organisms respond to changes in their external environments • Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems • The control of gene expression
Applicants must achieve a minimum of grade 7 in at least five subjects at GCSE/IGCSE. Additionally, applicants must achieve a grade of 6 or higher at GCSE/IGCSE in the subjects they have chosen to study at A level. To study Biology, Chemistry or Physics they must also achieve at least a grade 7 in Mathematics GCSE/IGCSE. In the case of subjects which are new at A level, they should achieve at least a grade 6 in a related subject. The conditional offer will be confirmed on receipt of GCSE results in August 2025.
