What the college says

This course will help nurture a passion for Biology, enabling you to develop greater understanding of biological concepts, together with an appreciation of their significance in new and changing situations. Biology at A-level is a challenging and rewarding course. A wide range of exciting topics, ranging from molecular biology to the study of ecosystems and from microorganisms to mammoths. Biology is never far from the headlines. The human genome has been sequenced and we now know the complete arrangement of the three thousand million bases that make up human DNA. In Kenya approximately 350 people die from AIDS every day and in South East Asia the skies are often dark with smoke as the last Bornean rainforests are burned to grow oil palms. Biologists are concerned with all of these issue and more, and they are reflected in the syllabus content.
