Biology A Level

Introduction 

Biology A level is a challenging and stimulating course, building and extending the topics covered at IGCSE. Many topics are studied in great detail including ecology, cell biology, genetics, respiration, conservation and diseases.

The course includes practical work throughout the 2 year course and students attend a field trip during Year 12 allowing pupils to gain experience of studying the ecology of different habitats.

If a deeper understanding of how living things work, interact and survive interests you then A level Biology is for you. At Royal Russell we follow the OCR A level course which is a two-year linear course.

Looking Further Ahead

Our A level Biology students have progressed to study several different Biology related subjects at university. These subjects include Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry, Biological Sciences, Biomedical Science, Environmental Science, Biochemistry, Marine Biology, Sports Science, Pharmacy and Veterinary Nursing.
