The OCR biology course contains a wide range of topics, starting with more foundational subject matter such as cell structure and biochemistry before moving on to human anatomy and physiology (eg the circulatory, respiratory, excretory and nervous systems), ecology (including biodiversity and conservation), more detailed biochemistry (eg of respiration and photosynthesis), genetics and genetic technology.
All offers require at least five 9-7 grades at (I)GCSE and a 9-7 in irrelevant subjects you plan to study at A-Level.
The A level qualification is examined via three theory papers at the end of the two-year course. Practical skills are assessed separately through practical work in lessons over the two-year course. The theory papers include questions based on a clear understanding of practical techniques and practicals are incorporated into lessons whenever possible.
