The A Level Biology course offers an extensive exploration of the core principles of biology, designed to deepen students' understanding of the natural world. Starting with an introduction to biology and the scientific method, the course delves into the fascinating world of cell biology, including the study of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Students will explore the intricacies of enzymes, cell structure, and function, providing a solid foundation in biochemistry and cellular biology.

As the course progresses, students will learn about genetics, including Mendelian inheritance, non-Mendelian inheritance, and the structure and replication of DNA. Advanced topics in genetics such as genetic engineering and biotechnology will also be covered. Evolutionary biology is another critical area, where students will study natural selection, adaptation, and the mechanisms of evolution, supported by evidence for evolutionary processes. The course also covers ecology, emphasizing ecosystems, biodiversity, and the environmental impact of human activities.

The study of physiology and homeostasis will give students insight into animal and plant systems, including processes like respiration, digestion, and the regulation of internal conditions. Through practical laboratory sessions, students will hone their investigative skills, learning experimental design, data analysis, and other vital scientific techniques. This hands-on experience will complement their theoretical knowledge, ensuring they are well-prepared for advanced biological studies or careers in scientific fields.
