The OCR course is designed for those students who wish to develop their interest in and enthusiasm for biology. Key concepts are tackled, such as how genes control animal functions, conservation and how we deal with disease. Synoptic links between different areas are stressed in the course.
A minimum of GCSE grade 6 in combined science or biology and a grade 5 in English and mathematics.
There are regular assessment tasks set within the class which consist of practical work; this is an integral part of the course. Over the period of the two years, students will complete twelve required practical's. Students may be awarded a practical endorsement attached to their A Level if these practical's are completed to the appropriate standard. The skills gained during the practical work will be assessed as part of the examination papers. Students complete three examination papers at the end of the course.
