Course summary

Year 12 starts with foundation topics: cell structure; biological molecules; nucleotides and nucleic acids; enzymes; biological membranes; cell division, cell diversity and cellular organisation. Then the course continues to explore topics about exchange and transport and biodiversity, evolution and disease. In Year 13 you will continue to study two further modules about communications, homeostasis and energy and genetics, evolution and ecosystems. Previous students who have studied Biology have gone on to specialise in the medical environment pursuing careers in Medicine, Veterinary Science, Physiotherapy, Dentistry, Optometry, Sport Rehabilitation and Forensic Science. Others have pursued degrees in a diverse range of biology focused subjects including Zoology, Marine Biology, Natural Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Sports Science, Food Science, Physiological Science and Experimental Psychology.
