The most amazing thing in the Universe is the existence of life! So, what could be more interesting than the study of living things and what makes them tick? Studying Biology will allow you to understand what organisms are made of and how cells work together and carry out the living processes of respiration, photosynthesis, excretion, digestion, transport, inheritance and reproduction. You will learn the scientific basis of healthy lifestyles, human disease, growth, development, how organisms interact in the environment and how they evolve to produce new species. Biology is a fascinating and challenging subject that should appeal to those students with an interest in the scientific study of living things. Many people are fascinated by the human body and much of the course involves the study of humans as organisms at many levels of organisation. The course also involves studying organisms such as viruses and bacteria as well as plants and animals and how they function and interact. ‘New Biology’ topics such as DNA structure and function, genetic engineering and biotechnology also form part of the study of Biology.
To study A Level courses, students need to achieve at least five Grade 6s as a basic entry level. However, if students wish to study one of the three A Level sciences, they must achieve a minimum of a GCSE grade 7 in the science they wish to study. If a student wishes to study A Level Maths, they must achieve a GCSE grade 7 in Maths and to study Further Maths, students must achieve a minimum of a Grade 8 in GCSE Maths. Individual circumstances may be considered when students have performed well in talent subjects e.g. Art, Drama, Photography.
