Study Life

If you’re interested in how your body works, why organisms have evolved the way they have or how we can solve some of humanities biggest problems such as disease and famine, then studying biology could be for you! If you were good at GCSE Biology and found it interesting, then why not continue studying it at A level?

Biology is the scientific study of life, and you will explore topics and issues that impact upon our lives and the world around us, building a secure knowledge in areas including biochemistry, evolution, ecology, genetics, and anatomy. Our enthusiastic teachers tailor their lessons to meet individual needs to ensure that you get the most out of your studies.
