Biology

Course summary

Are you interested in finding out how organisms and animals work? Are you fascinated in how we have evolved and the things that make us sick or improve our health? Do you have a thirst for understanding how your organs and organ systems work together to maintain a healthy lifestyle? If so, then Biology is the course for you. Biology A-level will give you the skills to make connections and associations with all living things around you. Biology literally means the study of life, from recent epidemics, such as Corona, to new treatments for cancer, to our changing views towards antibiotics. Being such a broad topic, you're bound to find a specific area of interest. Biology is a practical subject. Throughout the course you will carry out practical activities that will develop your skills and confidence needed to investigate how living things behave and work. There is no coursework at Biology A level; however, your practical activities will be assessed throughout the year by your subject tutor, during a series of essential practical skills linked to theory.
