Over the course of 2 years you will study a range of biology topics that will lead you to become a confident, proficient biologist. Each unit will include key concepts, which build on core knowledge from GCSE, with a mix of mathematical and practical skills. Mathematics make up approximately 10% of the A level biology exams; these mathematical/stats questions will be applied in the context of biology concepts you have learnt over the 2 years. The mathematics involved will be at least the standard of higher tier GCSE mathematics. The practical skills will be interlinked with key topics and will be formally assessed as part of the course assessments. It is important that during the course you develop practical skills that allow you to complete experiments accurately, efficiently and safely. Some of the skills you have already mastered others will be new to you.
- 6 or above in Maths and two Sciences(preferably triple Science) - General entry requirements into Year 12 are 5 grade 4s (or equivalent), plus at least grade 4 in English Language or Literature. - 4 in relevant subject if taken
