Biology influences all aspects of our lives. The impact of disease, its transmission and the development of vaccines have had a global impact on both personal lives and the world economy over the last few years. Biological research has both a social and political impact; our understanding of neuroscience and degenerative diseases, the multiple factors affecting health and lifespan, our global response to climate crisis, pollution solving possibilities enabled by genetic engineering to name but a few. As the scope of biotechnology expands the ethical issues created become ever more relevant to society. The career opportunities for biologists are expanding and will continue to grow in our lifetimes.
A prospective A level student must have a good grade 7 or above in GCSE/IGCSE Biology or equivalent in the Biology component of GCSE/IGCSE Double Award Science and at the very least a grade 6 in Mathematics. Biology is intertwined with so many subjects that we see a wide range of combinations being taken at A level.
Pupils sit five papers at the end of year 13. There may be an option to sit the AS component earlier, in the preceding autumn (three of the five examinations). The following table summarises the assessment breakdown.
