Biology

Biology develops essential knowledge of the concepts of life together with an understanding of scientific methods. It also increases the awareness of advances in technology which can be used in society. 

Students with an A Level in Biology typically go on to work in a diverse variety of fields. As well as expected careers such as Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry and Veterinary Science, Biology also allows for careers in the environment in areas such as Marine biology, genetics and conservation.

“Biology has helped me to understand life around me and build my knowledge to pursue a career in science.” 

“A great A-level to take and it opens up a wide range of future possibilities.”
