This course is for students who want to continue studying biology after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. You might be choosing biology because you're headed for a healthcare or scientific career, though it will give you a set of skills that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too. This course links well with most other A level subjects but particularly with those such as Chemistry, Physics, Math, Geography and Psychology.
To gain entry to Advanced Level Courses students must have achieved a minimum of grade 4 in both English and Math's plus 3 additional passes at GCSE (or equivalents) at grade 4 or above, in addition to both the criteria outlined below.
