This course is a wide-ranging course full of many different interesting topics. It will cover more topics than your GCSE Science course at school but will allow you to specialise in Biology. It contains all aspects of Biology from tiny unicellular organisms (bacteria) to humans, animals and plants.
You will require either a Level 1 Functional Skills or GCSE grade 3 (D) in English. Prospective students need to be aware of the homework requirements and the need to purchase a GCSE Biology AQA textbook. To enrol on this Adult Learning course you must be aged 18 years or over.

The College offers a variety of learning and teaching approaches including lectures, group discussions, problem solving, data handling, experimental and observational tasks. This course also contains statistical analysis. Students have access to our extensive ILT resources through our Virtual Learning Environment as well as lecturer and peer support.
You will sit two externally assessed examinations: both are worth 50% of the qualification and both are 1 hr 45 mins long.
With a grade 4 or above in GCSE Science, this would allow you to progress to a wide range of social science A Levels or onto on of our science based vocational courses at South Downs Campus.
