Biology is the study of how things work on a cellular level. Biology underpins large parts of our life; from how and why organisms function to effective management of the environment for humanity. Within the breadth of Biology A-level students will learn about life processes, genetics and microbiology, whilst developing a range of transferable skills in practical techniques, conceptual problem solving and application in wider environmental fields. What you will study: Paper 1: Biological processes Paper 2: Biological diversity Paper 3: Unified Biology Skills you will gain: Students will develop skills in literacy, numeracy, application, analysis, evaluation and problem solving. Additionally, students will develop skills in practical technique and research as part of their practical endorsement. Career Paths: Healthcare; doctor, dentist, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, Researcher; drugs, genetics, Nutritionist, Science communicator, Teacher, Forensic investigator. Please note: Biology is complemented by Chemistry, Mathematics, PE and Psychology, and is a strong supporting subject for an application to medical studies.
GCSE Biology Grade 6/ GCSE Combined Science 6-6 GCSE English Grade 5 and GCSE Maths Grade 6
The course is assessed using two 100 mark papers (1&2) and one 70 mark paper (3). The larger papers involve multiple choice and extended answer questions. The 3rd paper focuses on synthesis of concepts and skills. A practical endorsement will also be undertaken. This has no committed marks to the overall grade but is widely required for university applications.
