Biology is a fascinating subject. This course covers many different areas of Biology so you can start to understand the amazing diversity and complexity of life. Both the AS and A-level courses cover topics ranging from biological molecules to the environment around us. The course contains significant sections on human biology, plant biology, ecology, genetics and gene technology. All of the theory has a relevance to the world around us, whether it is the functioning of our own bodies or new technologies being used in genetic modification. A practical endorsement will be assessed by teachers; students will be expected to develop and demonstrate competency in a range of skills that are not assessable in written exams. Students will achieve a pass or fail in this area which will appear on their qualification certificate. This assessment will not contribute to their overall grade. Other practical skills will be assessed in exams.
