UCAS - Home. A-level Biology. GCSE Biology 4401 gives students the chance to gain a good understanding of human biology, organisms, evolution and the environment. The specification integrates the principles of 'How Science Works' throughout the units and in the controlled assessment. The course helps put Biology in the context of students' everyday lives with topics ranging from 'Keeping healthy' to 'Humans and their environment'. The specification is based on a series of topics related to the living world and relevant to students.
It is designed to help them understand how Science can be used to explain the world in which they live and the impact humans have. Teachers are encouraged to develop students' practical skills with hands-on work which helps engage and enthuse them. Students can see how science is used to solve problems ranging from infectious diseases to creating biofuels.
It is suitable for students of all abilities, whether they intend further study in Science or not. Specification. A-level Chemistry. A-level Chemistry is a rigorous, challenging and ultimately rewarding course that develops students' scientific skills and knowledge. There are six units in the full A-level – three at AS and three at A2. Four of the units are assessed by exam. The remaining two units are internal assessments of investigative and practical skills. There are two routes for internal assessment: teacher-marked or AQA-marked. This provides flexibility to meet the needs of schools and colleges and their students. Following on from GCSE Science or Chemistry, this specification offers teachers and students freedom, creativity and the opportunity for independent progression in Science. A-level consultations have been launched.
The last January exams for AS and A2 were in January 2013.The exams are now only in June due to Changes to A-levels. A-level Psychology B.
