What the college says

Biology is a fast moving and dynamic science. In addition to traditional classroom based activities, Biology involves supported independent learning and practical hands-on experience. As one of the most popular A Level subjects in the country, Biology attracts students studying a diverse range of other courses. Many of our students choose a related degree course such as medicine, neuro-science or physiotherapy. An A Level in Biology evidences sound numeracy and literacy, so previous students have also been accepted onto courses as diverse as criminology, accountancy and civil engineering. Whatever field you will eventually work in, you will find Biology a very rewarding and challenging course, which will develop many of the skills essential for a successful career.
