At A level, students study the AQA Biology specification, which covers topics ranging from biological molecules, cell structure, immune system, taxonomy, inheritance and variation, speciation, bioenergetics and cloning. Many students progress to study life sciences at university, including biomedical sciences, dentistry and veterinary science. Studying biology equips you with the critical and analytical skills necessary to confront complex problems relevant to a wide range of careers such as those associated with the health service or pharmaceutical industry, medical research, teaching, accounting, the civil service, law, scientific journalism or management, among others.
In order to ensure that students have the necessary depth of understanding and essential knowledge and skills to be successful in A Level Biology, the entry requirements are a minimum of two 6 grades achieved in two of the following GCSE sciences: Core Science, Additional Science, Further Science, Separate sciences (Biology. Chemistry or Physics). Students should have GCSE Maths to at least grade 5 standard. During the first year, students need to calculate magnifications from given photomicrographs.
Content is examined at the end of year 13 with three 2 hour papers, drawing on aspects from each discipline as well as practical work completed throughout the two years. Practical work also contributes towards the cross-board endorsement of practical skills; a must for any aspiring scientist.
