Biology Summary
Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. It is the subject that explains how things work: from the natural world down to your body and the cells within it. On this course you will explore a vast range of biology topics, such as genetics and nervous co-ordination, allowing you to make an informed decision about what future pathways appeal most to you. A highlight of every year is the year 12 field trip to Aberystwyth University, where you’ll get to experience university life and carry out field research on the Welsh beaches. Content covered in biology directly relates to real life; our students appreciate and understand matters such as the Covid-19 pandemic from an informed point of view, having studied immunity and disease to a greater depth. Recent research in biology has led to the development of controversial topics such as stem cell technology and genetically modified crops. Society must learn and decide how best to utilise advancements such as these. Study biology and make your decision from an informed position.
