Studying biology shows us how all living forms are interconnected. As an A Level, this course will prepare you for taking your studies to the next level.
You’ll find the skills you develop as a student with us are highly transferable and an excellent preparation for a wider range of courses you may study in the future.
If you’re looking to study for a medical course at university, A Level Biology is usually demanded.
We study a variety of topic areas including, biological molecules, cell structure and cell division, cell membranes, exchange and transport, protein synthesis, respiration, nervous system ecology and genetics.
Career options for biologists are hugely varied - you could work anywhere - from the Amazon to the Arctic, and in a wide range of industries and professions.
Biology is a fascinating science subject with highly interesting opportunities in research, environment and health areas. Many of our students go on to study biology at university in a wide range of subjects, including marine biology, immunology, genetics, radiography, environmental health, biomedical sciences, pharmacology and natural history and wildlife studies.
The course consists of eight topic areas, assessed at the end of the two years by written examination. There are twelve required practicals, including field work, which will allow you to gain the Practical Endorsement certificate.
