Course summary

The OCR A Level course has a thorough, logical and practical approach which provides opportunities for developing skills that can not only support you in many different courses and careers later in life, but also give you answers to questions you may have already thought about. You would be supported through the two year A Level course by two expert Biology teachers. The specification covers a wide range of Biological topics, for example, Cell structure, Biochemistry, Transport in animals and plants, Biodiversity, Classification, Communication, inheritance, Photosynthesis, Respiration, Gene technology and Homeostasis are a few of the many areas we cover. The OCR specification gives students a comprehensive and thorough basis for going on to study Biology at a higher level as well as offering opportunities to practise transferable skills.

Entry requirements

At least Grade 7 in Biology GCSE plus at least Grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics and GCSE Chemistry (or grade 7-7 in GCSE Combined Science).

How you'll be assessed

At A Level there are three examination papers; Biological processes, Biological diversity and Unified biology which are taken at the end of the two year course. There is also an internally assessed Practical endorsement for A Level which is reported separately to the A Level grade for which students undertake a number of required practicals.
