This course will appeal to those students who:

- Are willing to think around problems.
- Have an interest in all of the science subjects
- Enjoy the challenge of using scientific knowledge in new situations.
- Enjoy and carry out practical science

Students with AS or A level Biology have an extremely valuable qualification that can form the basis for any degree in a scientific discipline.

Biology combines well with Chemistry, Physics, and Maths as an excellent basis for a degree in any of the Biomedical Sciences-related courses. It is also a good subject for medicine and nursing, sports studies, marine biology, psychology and physiotherapy.
