Biology

Course summary

The course is designed to give students the opportunity to explore different branches of Biology and develop investigative skills valued by employers and universities. Students will be engaged by cutting edge content which is relevant to real world experiences and inspire them to pursue further study in courses like biological sciences and medicine. Biology is an experimental subject that is moving forwards rapidly thanks to modern day technological advances. Students are provided with numerous opportunities to link theory with reality through practical work which doesn’t contribute to their overall grade but is essential to completing the course. We follow the AQA exam route and all assessments are written exams which are completed at the end of Year 13. A Level Biology is notoriously one of the most challenging A Level subjects to study due to its range and depth of content. Being successful over the two year course will take a large commitment of time and effort but may be the course for you whether you are indulging your interests in the natural world or pursuing your aspirations to become a Neurosurgeon.
