A-level Biology at St Anne’s covers an excellent range of topics including cells, biological molecules and microbiology through to genetics, physiology and ecology.
The course aims to develop an understanding of the links between theory and experiment by providing an opportunity for the design and implementation of practical work. Knowledge and understanding of biological ideas will be developed together with an appreciation of their significance in new and more familiar contexts. The importance of biology as a human endeavour that impacts socially, philosophically and economically will be considered.
A good understanding of chemistry would be beneficial to students.
Biology not only complements the sciences but also enhances other subjects such as religious studies, geography and psychology.
