There are 3 written papers ranging in length from 1 hr 30 mins to 2 hours 15 mins.
Students are rigorously assessed throughout the course using homework and past paper questions. Practical activity group (PAGs) contribute towards the award of practical Endorsement. Some of these take place during the Ecology field course in Year 2.
Having A-level Biology is a fantastic qualification opening up fields in engineering and research to medicine and biomedical sciences, as well as teaching and finance.
