Biology is described as the ‘Science of Life’ and biologists work in many different and diverse fields. Including cell biology, medicine, food production and ecology. The Biology course is divided into six modules covering topics including cell biology, biochemistry, DNA structure, function and cell division, gas exchange in animals and transport in plants and animals, disease and the immune response. You will study ecology, classification, and the biodiversity of the living world. The early work on biomolecules, the chemicals of life, will lead to later work on the biochemistry of photosynthesis and respiration. You will learn about genetic inheritance, control of gene expression, gene technology, cloning and biotechnology, and ecology.
GCSE grades 6-6 in Combined Science or a grade 6 in Biology (if studied as a separate science) and a GCSE grade 6 in Maths. Any student entering the course having achieved GCSE Maths grade 6 (not grade 7-9) will also be required to study the Core Maths programme in Year 12.
Paper 1: Biological Processes 135 minutes 37% of marks Modules 1, 2, 3 and 5 Paper 2: Biological Diversity 135 minutes 37% of marks Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6 Paper 3: Unified Biology 90 minutes 26% of marks Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
