Biology

Course summary

As well as gaining a deep understanding of biology, students will develop practical skills through the delivery of a wide range of investigations. They will become adept at number manipulation and data analysis skills and will interpret and explain data in deep detail. Critical thinking and applying knowledge to unknown situations are important in A level biology. Time management and teamwork also play a vital role across both years of study as the volume of information and its application require a solid commitment throughout the whole course. Students find that the further they delve into a subject, the more rewarding the study of biology becomes. As with all A levels, students benefit from staff who have a deep love of their subject.
