Biology is the scientific study of life itself. Throughout this two year course, you will develop knowledge of the wide range of living things and an understanding of the life processes that they all share in common. You will study a broad range of topics from cell structure and biological molecules to the physiology of mammals and plants as well as more specialist topics such as microbiology and disease. In addition, the specification contains a large component of ecology, conservation, and evolution.
5 GCSEs at grades 9/A* - 4/C including English Language, two grades 6/B in Biology and a second Science or Double Science and a grade 5 or above in Maths. You will also be required to complete a GCSE to A Level Transition Project, prior to enrolment, to prepare you for A Level Biology.
This is a two-year linear A Level where you are examined on the whole syllabus at the end of the second year by three written exams. To prepare for external exams, you will carry out a program of weekly tests, exam-style assessments, and Formal Progress Points where you will monitor your attendance, how hard you are working, and your academic progress. All Year 1 students will progress through a Year 1 Gateway that will allow them to progress to Year 2. In addition, there is a required practical element leading to an additional practical endorsement.
