You will need an interest in how the human body works and be interested in how this can be understood on a cellular and molecular level. You will also study the interaction between humans and the environment and look at life on Earth and relationships between living things and the non-living environment. You will enjoy practical experimentation and have an eye for detail and an interest in graphs and statistics. At Standard Level the subject is accessible, even for those who have not studied Biology at GCSE, although GCSE Chemistry would be advised. At Higher Level, you will be equipped for further study. Many university courses which require Biology also require Chemistry at Higher Level.
Students must achieve five grade 6s or above, with at least a grade 7 in the subjects they wish to study.
Three exam papers covering multiple choice, short answer and extended answer questions, with some data analysis components. A practical project is worth 20% of the total marks
