Biology

Course summary

Advanced Biology is suitable for everyone. It is essential for those thinking of a career in biological sciences, for example, medicine, ecology, and nutrition. It is also useful for students with other career ambitions who are merely interested in science and keen to work on their logical thinking skills. Students are advised that taking Chemistry alongside Biology would be an advantage. The course looks at contemporary biological issues from scientific as well as ethical and moral viewpoints. Topics cover fundamental areas of biology, such as cells, biological molecules, transport and classification. Later topics build on what has come before to give students a broad knowledge base for assessment and progression to further study and the workplace.
