The study of Biology requires the construction of sound foundations through the study of several fundamental concepts. During the course you will develop an understanding of scientific methods and be aware of those scientific advances in technology that are relevant to the biological sciences. You will also gain experience in the laboratory where you will develop your skills to examine and identify tissues, proteins and other biological substances. In addition, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of facts, principles and concepts from different areas of Biology and learn to make and use connections between them. A-Level Biology also involves calculations, scientific drawing, data manipulation, analysis and interpretation which are skills that are important to many professions and careers. Over the two years students study a variety of topics which are examined at the end of the course: Module 1 – Development of practical skills in biology Module 2 – Foundations in biology Module 3 – Exchange and transport Module 4 – Biodiversity, evolution and disease Module 5 – Communication, homeostasis and energy Module 6 – Genetics, evolution and ecosystems
8 GCSEs at grades 5 or above with a minimum grade 6 in English, Maths and Triple or combined Science"
