Advanced Biology is suitable for everyone. It is essential for those thinking of a career in biological sciences, for example, medicine, ecology, and nutrition. It is also useful for students with other career ambitions who are merely interested in science and keen to work on their logical thinking skills. Students are advised that taking Chemistry alongside Biology would be an advantage. The course looks at contemporary biological issues from scientific as well as ethical and moral viewpoints. Topics cover fundamental areas of biology, such as cells, biological molecules, transport and classification. Later topics build on what has come before to give students a broad knowledge base for assessment and progression to further study and the workplace.
● five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above; ● at least a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths; ● at least a Grade 6 in the subject you wish to study.
Internal preparation will be tracked through the end-of-topic tests/assessment points 1 - 4 and mock module exams taken from past exam papers. Understanding will be informally assessed weekly through homework tasks and short keyword tests. Practical endorsement: all students are required to master 12 practical assessments over their two years of study. They will complete this as the practical component of their course. Externally, the two-year work will be assessed through external exams after the second year of study. The exams will be testing the depth and breadth of the students' understanding.
