Biology - A Level

Assessment

Theoretical Biology is supported by practical demonstrations and student practical activities. Students undertake formal practical assessments (PAGs) throughout the course to demonstrate a range of practical skills. Practical activities include the use of microscopes, dissections and even the amplification of DNA using our newly acquired PCR machines, which are an exciting addition to the department. This will enable our students to develop the kind of practical skills that would previously have been limited to those continuing with Biology to degree level and beyond.
