A-Level Biology allows students to explore the diverse world of Biological Science from the solid foundation built at GCSE. From the traditional cornerstones of biological molecules, classification and the function of essential body systems through to the ever-changing world of genetics and ecosystem interaction, the course is diverse and challenging.
