Biology
Course summary
Is this course for me? Students who take Biology often also study from a wide range of subjects, including Psychology, Sociology, PE, Chemistry, and Science in Society, Physics, Applied Science, Health & Social Care, Critical Thinking and Environmental Studies. What will I learn? In the first year you’ll study three main topics: ‘biology and disease’, ‘the variety of living organisms’, plus a practical assignment which is designed to sharpen your investigative skills. Amongst them, these three topics give a solid grounding in Biology. Year two helps you build on that firm foundation and, like year one, has two academic topics plus a practical assignment. The academic topics are ‘Populations and environment’, and ‘Control in cells and organisms’. The practical assignment is where you investigate a different area of Biology. What could this course lead to? Biology can be used as an entry qualification for a wider variety of courses at higher education. These include traditional Biological topics; medicine, dentistry, midwifery, physiotherapy, sports science, environmental science etc. Students with Biology have also gone on to study non-scientific subjects such as Art, History, Law, Music, Foreign Languages etc
