Biology A-level

Has anyone picked biology a level, if so, what do you think of it?

I go to The University of Bradford. I really enjoy the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science course here, it's very difficult but it's accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and approved by the Health and Care Professions Council, so it's a LOT easier to become a Registered Biomedical Scientist when you graduate.

I highly recommend that you only study BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science at a University that is IBMS Accredited if you are thinking of becoming a Biomedical Scientist.

I am doing AQA biology and I quite like it. It's a lot 'nicer', apparently! I quite like how there is no more coursework, my grades in science at GCSE were being pulled down due to my coursework in science.

Its annoying to revise. But it's more interesting than chemistry (except organic).

I'm really enjoying it actually. Some parts are hard but I'm just trying to learn as much as possible as I go along. My teacher is amazing too which helps

I have finished AS biology, i find it very interesting, unlike GCSE biology, which although i got an A*, i found boring.
It's quite a jump from gcse though
what's you're gcse biology grade? and how did you find it?

GCSE biology was meh.

Hahaha, It was the same for me too. However if you find Biology in general boring or difficult, i suggest not taking it in A level
I had a mate who wasn't interested in Biology but took it in A level anyway, he ended up getting an E, although he got an A* in GCSE bio. no ****!

Very good teachers can make a HUGE difference! You're very lucky!x

I agree 100%. Unfortunately my psychology teacher is not the best. shes lovely but shes the head of sixth form so very busy and therefore not always the best teacher

Yes that sometimes happens- my chem teacher LITERALLY copies word for word from the textbook and doesn't explain anything, although she's a lovely woman. But still...

Yeah thats annoying! Im pretty much having to do that for psychology so i learn something! Ive got mocks coming up soon and im so nervous because they use these grades for your uni predictions so im terrified aha!

OMG same! I practically have to teach the chem course to myself!

So annoying! theres so much evaluation needed in psych its ridiculous!
Thank you! Just want to get into a good uni really!
