Biology at GCE develops many of the topics covered in GCSE. It allows the student to explore them in more depth, to find out how and why things happen in the biological world. The “how science works” element of the course allows students to apply knowledge into current scientific developments and to look at the evidence that led to some fundamental discoveries in the living world. The Biology course at A-level, while similar in some respects to the GCSE course, is significantly different in many ways. The topics covered at AS and A-level are at a much greater depth than those covered at GCSE and as a consequence the approach to learning these must include increased independent study. This will include: • Reading around the subject both prior to and after the lesson • Researching given topics • Being able to manage your time Entry requirements are open to negotiation with individual students once final GCSE results are known, but as a general rule: • GCSE Grade B (or better) in both Additional and Core Science. A Grade A (or better) in GCSE Additional Science is advisable. • For students intending to take the full 2 year A-level course, Grade B’s (or better) in both GCSE courses are advisable.Contact provider for more information as this may not be up to date course information
