Why Choose to Study GCSE Biology?

GCSE Biology is accepted by universities and employers as proof of essential knowledge and ability. As well as a subject focus, the biology syllabus enables learners to:

• better understand the technological world, with an informed interest in scientific matters
• recognise the usefulness (and limitations) of scientific method, and how to apply this to other disciplines and in everyday life
• develop relevant attitudes, such as a concern for accuracy and precision, objectivity, integrity, enquiry,initiative and inventiveness
• develop an interest in, and care for, the environment
• better understand the influence and limitations placed on scientific study by society, economy, technology, ethics, the community and the environment
• develop an understanding of the scientific skills essential for both further study and everyday life.
