Why choose this subject? Biology offers the opportunity to grapple with some of the more contentious issues of our day – cloning humans; genetic finger printing; in-vitro fertilisation, to name but a few. This is a highly rewarding and challenging course which will take you from the lab to theory and out into the field in your quest for information, explanation and results. Combine this course with: Chemistry, Physics, Maths, a Language, History. Essential if you go on to: Medicine, Research Work, Nursing, Teaching. Students explore the complex and diverse ideas by providing opportunities to develop a greater understanding of biological facts together with an appreciation of their significance in the wider world. Students will undertake a detailed study of the mechanics of plant and animal life, both in theoretical and practical terms, as well as the physical and chemical structure, function, development and evolution of living organisms.
To study any A-level Science course you must achieve at least 2 x Grade 6’s in GCSE Trilogy Science or a Grade 6 in the chosen subject if Triple Science was taken.
