What the college says

Examination Board: AQA Why study Biology? Global warming, antibiotic resistance, famine, recycling..... these are just a few of the problems facing mankind today. As we understand how living things work and how they interact with their environment, Biologists will be able to develop new ways of solving the problems we all face. We can already alter the genetics of living things to enable them to produce important drugs or cope with difficult environments. Imagine designing an organism to do a specific job. Biologists will be the engineers of the future. Students are expected to write an essay in the exam and carry out various statistical tests. A level Biology combines well with A level Chemistry, Geography and PE.
