Course Introduction
Studying A-Level or IA-Level Biology is a chance to significantly extend your scientific knowledge, taking a deeper look at core ideas and covering a range of new material. You will delve into the basic components of living systems, exploring biological molecules, cells, and how organisms exchange substances with their environment. You will also learn about complex concepts like energy transfers and how organisms respond to changes around them.
Upon completion of the course, you will be a capable and competent biologist, with a developed understanding of core principles. You will cover essential topics such as biodiversity, homeostasis, genetics, patterns of inheritance, and the impact of human society on the world. This qualification will give you the level of competence required to progress to study at degree level in biology or related sciences.
Course Info
This A-Level / IA-Level Biology online course covers the requirements of both the A-Level and the International A-Level in Biology, following the AQA specification. The curriculum provides a comprehensive study of the subject, structured around eight core modules that build your knowledge from the smallest building blocks of life up to entire ecosystems.
Across the exam papers, you will be quizzed across the breadth of the course material through a mix of short and long answer questions, ensuring you have a superior understanding of biological principles.
Exams
The qualification is awarded by AQA, one of the UK’s most respected exam boards, known for its consistent assessment and strong support for learners.
This course offers you the flexibility to choose between two routes when booking your assessment:
- A-Level: Assessed by the traditional AQA A-Level written papers, typically sat in the summer.
- IA-Level (International A-Level): This route offers a more flexible structure where you can take individual unit exams when you feel ready. You also have three opportunities per year to sit the exams and can re take a single unit if needed, rather than the full exam.
Your dedicated tutor will be available to help you decide which option is best for your academic path. Exams take place at one of our nationwide exam centres.
