Biology

Course summary

The work of biologists is vital to us all. Choose Biology and you could find yourself advancing knowledge, finding new discoveries and tackling some of the pioneering new challenges facing the world we live in. Biology is the study of the natural world and will take you on a journey through life from the macroscopic environments that drive the biodiversity we see on Earth, through to the microscopic world of the cell and the molecular interactions that drive it. Studying Biology at A level will engage you with the complexities of Ecological concepts and enable you to link this to concepts learnt in Chemistry and Physics too. Whilst there is a lot of theory to learn, there will also be a great deal of analysis of experimental data as you will demonstrate the skills needed to be a real scientist.
