This dynamic and comprehensive course offers students a deep understanding of biological concepts, from the molecular level to ecosystems. Through a blend of theory and practical applications, students will explore topics such as cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology. Emphasis is placed on developing scientific skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, with opportunities for hands-on experimentation. With a focus on both the fundamental principles of biology and cutting-edge developments, this course equips students for further study in biological sciences, healthcare, and research.
In addition to satisfying our Sixth Form entry requirements, students must achieve a Grade 6 in GCSE Biology or Grade 6-6 in GCSE Combined Science.
A Level Biology is assessed through a combination of knowledge-based exams and practical skill assessments, with the final grade determined by performance in the written exams. Practical skills are also assessed throughout the course, and students must complete a set of required practical activities. These contribute to the practical endorsement, which is a separate pass/fail assessment. There is no coursework component.
