Biology is the science of life. By studying Biology at A level, you will develop the skills and knowledge that are crucial to making connections and associations between the matter around you.
You'll have the chance to develop your own hypotheses as you investigate molecules, cells, organisms and genetics, conduct practical experiments such as animal dissection and explore the realms of cell division using microscopes.
Studying Biology could lead to a wide range of biological sciences at university, but it is also essential should you wish to pursue a career in clinical professions such as veterinary science and medicine.

Course programme

During this two year A level, you will study the following:
  • Biological molecules
  • Organisms and how they exchange substances with their environment
  • Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms
  • How energy transfers in and between organisms
  • Organisms and how they respond to changes in internal and external environments
  • Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems
  • The control of gene expression

In addition to the theoretical aspects of this A level, you will also be assessed on your practical ability in the laboratory. The practical's will equip you with the skills and confidence that you need to investigate the way living things behave and work.

An example of some of the experimental techniques include:
  • Using microscopes to see cell division
  • Dissection of animal or plant systems
  • Investigating activity within cells
