What the college says

Biology is the study of living things, how they function and interact with each other and their surroundings. Every day experience gives us an insight and a general knowledge of biological issues. We all have an understanding of how our bodies work and of the animals and plants in the countryside around us. The A-Level Biology course gives us the detail required to understand these ideas in a more scientific and organised way.
