What the college says

If you are curious or interested in understanding more about how life works on this planet, this is the course for you. Those who are interested in how our bodies work, from a subcellular level up to how species actually come to be will excel at this course.

The skills gained in a Biology A-level dont have to go on to necessarily work in the scientific field. Many successful people who complete A-level Biology, do not go on to work in science but have gained incredibly valuable skills which can be transitioned into many lines of work: An understanding of the wider world/cultures beyond our own Self-discipline in hard work Problem solving Timekeeping So if you enjoy the biology aspects of science, want to know more (even if you dont necessarily want to work as a biologist), then Biology A-level is right for you.
