This course covers the biology of a range of organisms, both plant and animal, with a heavy bias towards humans and human activity. The Programme of Study Linear - 2 year A level. OCR Biology A Content overview Module 1: Development of fundamental skills in biology (integrated into the whole course) Module 2: Foundations in biology Module 3: Exchange and transport Module 4: Biodiversity, evolution and disease Module 5: Communication, homeostasis and energy Module 6: Genetics, evolution and ecosystems The course involves both theory and practical activities. It makes use of Information and Communication Technology. There is a two day field course at the end of Year 12. Assessment Year 12 Students will be entered into AS examinations at the end of Year 12 as a benchmark of the progress they have made. There are two papers both examining content and practical skills in Modules 1, 2, 3 and 4. Year 13 Students will be examined on all six modules in three papers. Practical skills will also be reported separately as the practical endorsement in Biology. Higher Education and Career opportunities This course is suitable for any career involving Biology, including medicine, physiotherapy, nursing and laboratory work. Biology counts as a science qualification for a range of jobs and courses. Many Biology-based courses at University may also require AS/A level Chemistry.
