A wide range of topics are covered from finding out about how the human body works to understanding the natural environment. Biology is a challenging qualification which requires dedication. You will be expected to gain a sound knowledge of detailed mechanisms which support life within living cells and organisms. The course follows a content-led approach.
You must meet the specific requirements for the subject and, as a minimum, achieve at least 5 GCSEs at level 5 or above, including English and Maths.
The two year A Level course is assessed through three exams, all of which are taken at the end of the two years of study. These cover biological processes (37%), biological diversity (37%) and unified biology (26%). Question styles range from multiple choice and short answer to longer structured questions covering theory and practical skills. A separately reported practical endorsement certificate is given for candidates demonstrating sufficient skill in key areas.
