The Biology course is designed to develop interest in and enthusiasm for the whole range of living organisms, the way they work, relate to each other and the environment in which they live. Students are guided to develop an appreciation of how society makes decisions about contemporary scientific issues, and how this science contributes to the success of the economy and welfare of society. One of the key features of this course is the development of experimental skills and there is an emphasis on learning through investigation.
Assessment is in the form of three externally-assessed written examinations and one practical endorsement (non-examined). Students keep a lab work book and are awarded ‘pass’ or ‘unclassified’ from 12 practicals. Students can still get a final grade without passing the practical endorsement.
