Broadly speaking, Biology covers the entire of the AS and A2 syllabus, ranging from the make up of the cell, through to the exact pathways that organisms use to liberate energy from their environment. There is also a strong component of ecology and looking at the large scale picture of life on earth, as well as a module on Human health and disease. Chemistry runs from the structure of the atom through to looking at complex chemical equilibria and why reactions occur at all. There is a strong practical element and a close study of how chemistry shapes the world around us. How will I be Taught? Teaching varies from lectures to practical, with most sessions combining both. How will I be Assessed? The course is assessed with a mixture of exams, workbooks, presentations and essays. The exact make up and balance of this depends on your specific pathway.
