The AQA specification is an exciting way to learn Biology. Topics are taught within a theme that enables you to put the biological principles and processes into context, making them seem more relevant. Biology is also a required, or at least desirable, subject for a number of career pathways.

TOPICS COVERED
  • Biological molecules
  • Cells
  • Organisms exchange substances with their environment
  • Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms
  • Energy transfers in and between organisms
  • Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments
  • Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems
  • The control of gene expression

Additional information

Biology goes well with Chemistry and Maths and supports subjects such as PE and Psychology. Many of our students successfully mix Biology with Humanities, such as History, Foreign Languages and English.
