Biology

Course summary

Our Biology courses cover the essential biological concepts at an advanced level but also emphasize the way in which biologists work and the contribution biology makes to society. There is a large scope for extended reading and research beyond the specification. The practical element allows students to develop their skills and enables them to become competent laboratory workers which can be essential for either Higher Education and/or future careers. Biology at an advanced level is both an important requisite for some degree courses and an interesting and stimulating subject on its own. Biology complements the other sciences of Chemistry, Psychology, and Physics extremely well. Biology leads to a number of popular degree courses, for example, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Biomedical Sciences, Ophthalmology, Biochemistry, and Forensic Science.
