What the college says

As David Attenborough said, It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.We would certainly agree with this in the Stroud High Biology department. From miniscule membrane structures to the intricate details of how we release energy from food, A level Biology will demystify many of the structures and processes that make organisms tick. You will study a wide range of topics ranging from molecular Biology to ecosystems and microorganisms to mammals. Biology offers the opportunity to examine the background to areas such as GM foods, conservation of species, cloning, vaccines and factory farming.The skills acquired in the study of Biology will equip you for a variety of careers, not just in the Health and Clinical professions, but also a huge and diverse range of choice, such as Marine Biologist, Biotechnologist, Zoologist, Research Scientist in medicine or life sciences, Nature conservation officer and Scientific Writer/Reporter.
