At St David's College, we believe that Biology should be as practical as possible. Students are encouraged to study new concepts and ideas by seeing them in action.
Biology at St David's College provides the chance to develop an understanding of the world around us. The study of fundamental biological theories and principles will give our pupils the perfect foundation to pursue a career in the Sciences, medical fields, or other related higher education subjects.
To take the Advanced Level in Biology pupils should have a good pass mark at GCSE in Science. There is also a significant amount of practical work in this subject.
