Biology courses in the North East Consortium aim to stimulate, develop and sustain an interest in Biology. A good understanding of biological facts and principles will be developed, with particular emphasis on the human, social and applied aspects of the subject. Biology is the study of life, from the simplest organism to complex multi-cellular organisms. Starting from the basics of biochemistry and cell biology, students will build an understanding of how living systems work, and how sometimes they go wrong in disease. Students will also further develop their experimental skills when investigating a number of topics within the syllabus.
You need at least a grade 6 in GCSE Maths and 6 in English as well as BB in Science to study Biology at AS level. In order to guarantee progression on to the A level course you will need to achieve at least a grade D at AS level. If you are hoping to study an A Level qualification you will need to have achieved at least 5 grade ‘C’s in 5 separate subjects. This must include a grade 5 in both English Language and Mathematics. Our Vocational courses are for those students who achieved a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade C or above.
Students are assessed through external examinations at the end of year 1 and at the end of year 2. Students will be awarded a Practical Skills Endorsement at A level if they successfully complete the practical elements of the course.
