WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR? This course if for students who are interested in different types of living organisms that populate our world and exploring the myriad ways of sustaining the living organism. Students should be inquisitive and keen to study the building blocks of life, DNA, cells and genetics and inquire into the biology of disease and see what can go wrong in the various life systems. WHERE NEXT - POSSIBLE CAREER PROGRESSION? A Level Biology is an essential qualification for those wanting to continue the study of biological sciences at degree level or higher. In addition it is a requirement for the study of courses such as medicine, veterinary science, ecology, plant science, genetics, microbiology, biochemistry and physiology. Students wishing to pursue careers in nursing or veterinary nursing would also be advised to consider biology as an A Level course. Biology is also a subject that is widely accepted in conjunction with other A Level subjects for science related degree courses.
Students must have achieved a minimum of five 9-5 grades or the equivalent at GCSE, including a Grade 5 in GCSE English Literature or English Language, and a Grade 6 in Mathematics. The minimum entry requirement is a Grade 7 in either GCSE Biology (Separate Science), or a Grade 77 in GCSE Combined Science. If you studied BTEC Science, you are required to have achieved a Distinction* in the BTEC Level 2 First Award in Principles of Applied Science and a Distinction* in the BTEC Level 2 First Award in Application of Science. Alternatively, you will need to have achieved a Distinction* in the BTEC Level Diploma in Applied Science. Those joining the course with a BTEC qualification will be required to successfully complete a bridging course during the Summer term. This course will conclude with a summative assessment.
A Level Biology, Three written examinations. - Biological processes - Biological Diversity - Unified biology - Practical endorsement in biology - non examination assessment
