A Level Biology includes a substantial practical element. You will carry out a number of significant practical activities relating to topics including microbiology, genetics, animal behaviour and ecology. Your practical skills will be assessed in the college and will lead to an endorsed certificate awarded alongside your A Level.
- You must satisfy the general entry criteria for A Level courses which are based on your GCSE results.
- In addition, you must achieve at least grade B in GCSE Mathematics and at least grade B in both GCSE Core and Additional Science or grade B in both GCSE Biology and another science subject. Biology must be taken in combination with at least one other subject from the following list: Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology or Electronics.
International students:
- Equivalent overseas qualifications will be considered.
- IELTS 5.5 (with a minimum of 5.0 in each skill) or equivalent.
You'll be assessed by exams at the end of the course. Some questions will relate to the practical work you have done during the course.
Taken as one of three A Levels, Biology can take you to a university course of your choice. Taken with another Science A Level and/or with Maths, this course will allow you to specialise in Science at Higher Level.
