What the college says

If you enjoy studying a wide range of topics and developing your ability to link your understanding across these topics and apply it to unfamiliar contexts, you will be well suited to the study of A Level Biology. Biology is both a challenging and rewarding subject, which develops an array of transferable skills that are essential for a successful career, including essay-writing, practical and mathematical skills, as well as skills in self-direction, independent learning and teamwork. Ultimately, you should take Biology because you are either interested in the subject or are good at it (ideally, both!).

What you need to get on

Grade 6 in either GCSE Biology or in a combined science and a grade 6 in Maths

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.
