This distance learning course in biology takes a close look at more advanced aspects of this branch of science, including genetics, biodiversity and forensics. If you want to work in a profession that incorporates biology, such as health care, environmental conservation or pharmaceuticals, an A level in the subject is an essential starting point. It's also a necessity if you wish to study for a degree in biology, and serves as an excellent subject to either study alongside other sciences or as a complementary choice with more essay-focussed subjects.
