A Level Biology is a great choice of subject if you wish to pursue a career in health and clinical professions, such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, physiotherapy, pharmacy, optometry, medical research, nursing, zoology, microbiology or genetics, as well as a wide range of science careers. Biology is also a great choice if you have an interest in the subject and wish to study it alongside a set of complementary or contrasting subjects. You will be taught in one of our three specialist laboratories that are equipped to the highest standards. You will also have access to a computer area adjacent to the laboratories. You will receive printed module notes, past paper booklets and a wide range of handout materials. The department makes wide-ranging use of interactive online resources to facilitate independent learning. Practical skills are an essential part of the course and our newly built, well-equipped laboratories supported by our experienced teachers and skilled technicians, ensure opportunities are available to enhance your learning.

If you are considering applying to university to study biology, zoology, ecology, animal science, marine biology, life sciences, medicine, environmental science, forensic science or any other subject related to the natural world, then A Level Biology is essential, with many other courses preferring Biology at A Level. Possible career choices that require A-level biology include biological testing, biotechnology, independent research, food industry jobs, nutrition, medicine, doctor, nurse, veterinarian, zoologist, zookeeper, animal care, veterinary nurse, and scientist, amongst a huge range of others. Having an A-Level in Biology will put you in great stead for a huge range of careers, as it is a great qualification to have.
