Ever wondered how the heart works, how hormones control the body, how and why animals and plants are different from each other? Then the challenging but rewarding Biology course could be for you. The large amount of information covered makes this course desirable for a wide range of courses at University including degrees in healthcare, such as medicine, veterinary or dentistry, as well as the biological sciences, such as biochemistry, molecular biology or forensic science. Biology can also complement sports science, psychology, sociology and many more. A Level Biology can open up a range of career opportunities including: biological, medical, or environmental research, forensics, sports and science communication. The transferable skills you will learn, such as problem solving, are also useful for many other areas, such as law. The specification is divided into topics, each covering different key concepts of Biology. There are six modules in total, with five covering content of the course and one that covers Practical skills. The modules cover the following areas of Biology, Foundations in Biology, Exchange and Transport, Biodiversity, Evolution and Disease, Communication, Homeostasis and Energy and finally Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems. The ‘Development of Practical Skills in Biology’ module underpins the whole of the specification, and covers the practical skills that students will develop throughout the course.
