Why study this course? Studying A Level Biology offers students a deep understanding of key biological concepts and processes, making it ideal for those interested in science and health-related fields. It covers a broad range of topics, from cell biology and genetics to ecosystems and evolution, providing a solid foundation for higher education in biology, medicine, environmental science, and other related disciplines. The course emphasises practical skills and analytical thinking, helping students develop problem-solving abilities and a scientific mindset. The opportunity to attend our residential field trip to Dorking, Surrey, provides a valuable insight into the ecological aspects of the course. What will you study? Year 12 Topics: Foundations in Biology - Cell structure, biological molecules, nucleic acids, enzymes, biological membranes, cell division, diversity and organisation; Exchange and Transport - Exchange surfaces, transport in animals, transport in plants, Biodiversity; Evolution & Disease - Communicable disease and the immune system, biodiversity, evolution and classification Year 13 Topics: Communication, Homeostasis & Energy - Excretion, homeostasis, hormonal communication, neuronal communication, respiration, photosynthesis, plant and animal responses; Genetics, Evolution & Ecosystems - Cellular control, patterns of inheritance, manipulating genomes, cloning and biotechnology, ecosystems, populations and sustainability Throughout the course you will learn a range of practical skills through the completion of a core set of practical tasks. These skills form part of the practical assessment component of the Biology A level. You will also have the opportunity to attend our residential field trip to Dorking, Surrey, which focuses on developing skills and knowledge linked to the ecological aspects of the A level. Future Pathways In most cases Biology is an essential subject for medicine, dentistry, veterinary science and biological sciences. Other students go on to careers in law, computing, accounting or teaching due to the many transferable skills the A level develops. Whatever field you will eventually work in, you will find Biology a very rewarding course which will develop many of the skills essential for a successful career.
