Over the two years students will study topics related to six main areas in Biology, which are designed to prepare students for further study in Biology. These include: Module 1: Development of Practical Skills: Tested in examinations as well as through twelve internally assessed experiments, which will act as practical endorsement, along with the A Level grade. Module 2: Foundations in Biology: The students will study: cell structure, biological molecules, nucleotides & nucleic acids, enzymes, biological membranes, cell division, cell diversity and cellular organisation. Module 3: Exchange and Transport: The students will study: exchange surfaces, transport in animals and transport in plants. Module 4: Biodiversity, Evolution and Disease: The students will study: communicable diseases, disease prevention, immune system, biodiversity, classification and evolution. Module 5: Communication, Homeostasis and Energy: The students will study: communication and homeostasis, excretion, neurones, hormones, plant and animal responses, photosynthesis and respiration. Module 6: Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems: The students will study: cellular control, patterns of inheritance, manipulating genomes, cloning and biotechnology, ecosystems, populations and sustainability.
