This course is for students who want to continue studying biology after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. You might be choosing biology because you're headed for a healthcare or scientific career, though it will give you a set of skills that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too. This course links well with most other A level subjects but particularly with those such as Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Geography and Psychology.
At least 5 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above.
Assessment is through examination at the end of the course. There will be 3 exam papers, 2 of 2 hours 15 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes duration. You will also undertake a minimum of 12 practical activities during the 2 years of your course, that are teacher assessed and will appear as a separately reported result on your final A level certificate.
