Those who have studied the subject often go on to study biological degrees with an enthusiastic approach to the subject. However, not all students choose this root but instead ‘use’ their Biology A-level to help them get on to unrelated university degrees such as English, Business studies, and Law. Biology is recognised by universities as being a highly respected A-Level and look favourably on students studying it. In summary Biology is an exciting and relevant subject with both practical and fieldwork elements to the course taught by enthusiastic and dedicated teachers. AS and First year of A-level topics 1.
