The biosphere is an essential component in creating and maintaining life processes on Earth, unfortunately, many species and biomes are under threat and you will be able to evaluate how effective management strategies are in trying to save many species from extinction. In your second year, we will examine further how humans affect the planet through our demand for energy sources, release of pollutants, and need for biological resources. In the first year, you will study The Living Environment, The Physical Environment, and Research Methods. You will then study the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and mineral resources. In the second year, you will study Energy Resources and Pollution, Biological Resources, Sustainability, and the remaining aspects of Research Methods. You will learn about the importance of energy resources and suggest solutions to minimize current and future pollution problems. You will study agricultural and aquatic food production systems and investigate how humans have increased productivity. The course could lead you to a career with an environment agency, The National Trust, The Forestry Commission, local wildlife trusts, environmental consultancies, National Parks, recycling organizations, waste management, and water quality organizations.
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including grade 5 or above in chemistry or combined science 55. Mathematics at grade 5 or above and English Language or Literature at grade 6 or above.
