What the college says

The A Level Biology course builds directly from GCSE Biology or GCSE Additional Science. Several skills are required for success in Biology at A Level - in particular the ability to work independently and be self-motivated. Note that the course also requires attendance at additional tutorial sessions after school for some students; a commitment to attend these sessions is a pre-requisite for acceptance onto the A Level Biology course.

What you need to get on

GCSE English and Maths (at grades 9-5) plus three other GCSEs grades 9-4. These should include 6 or above in Biology and one other Science or 6/6 or above in Double Science.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
