Biology is the study of living organisms and the processes of life, from evolutionary, physiological and molecular perspectives. Understanding this area of science will give you a greater appreciation for the natural world and satisfy your curiosity about how organisms survive and thrive in their respective habitats. Like all sciences, studying Biology will develop your knowledge and understanding of the scientific method, your research and quantitative skills, your problem-solving and analytical ability and your awareness of the role science plays in society. If you want to apply for a degree in the Biological or Life Sciences, or Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Medicine, it is an essential A level to take.
We expect all pupils progressing from UV into the Sixth Form at Wycombe Abbey to achieve a minimum of six GCSE passes at grades 7, 8 or 9. A GCSE grade 7 or above is required for the subjects you wish to study at A level (excluding those subjects which are not offered at GCSE, although a grade 7 or above should be achieved in a subject which requires similar skills). Should a pupil not achieve this standard, a discussion will be held with the pupil, her parents and relevant staff members to support them in finding a suitable alternative route.
The ten topics above are assessed in three written examinations at the end of your Upper Sixth year.
