Biology A Level gives students the skills to make connections and associations with all the living things around them. Biology literally means the study of life and if that’s not important, what is? Being such a broad topic, students are bound to find a specific area of interest, plus it opens the door to a fantastic range of interesting careers. A Level 1.Biological molecules: 2.Cells and Viruses, reproduction of living things 3.Classification 4.Exchange and Transport 5.Energy for biological processes 6.Microbiology and Pathogens 7.Modern Genetics 8.Origins of Genetic Variation 9.Control Systems 10.Ecosystems We want students who: Are prepared to ask difficult questions. Students will have to learn a lot of detailed facts and apply them in an intelligent manner. If a student is inquisitive about the world, they will love Biology. Biology is one of the top 'facilitator subjects' required to enter good courses at outstanding universities (Russell Group). Universities are becoming increasingly aware of Biology as an indicator of analytical skill. Biology is a logical prerequisite for Medicine and Veterinary Science and the growing world of Biotechnology and Pharmacology.
Grade 6 in GCSE Biology or at least a Grade 6-6 in Combined Science Grade 5 in English and Maths
Paper 1: Advanced Biochemistry, Microbiology and Genetics Topics 1-7 / 90 marks, 1 hour 45 minutes. Paper 2: Advanced Physiology, Evolution and Ecology Topics 1-4 and Topics 8-10 / 90 marks, 1 hour 45 minutes. Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Biology, Topics 1-10 / 120 marks, 2 hours 30 minutes. This paper is synoptic, assessing knowledge from any of the 10 topics along with practical skills obtained from 16 core practical’s, carried out during the 2-year course. Other appropriate practical work is carried out besides the core practicals. A 2-day fieldtrip is also undertaken to a local beach and river
