Biology is a popular choice amongst students aiming for science based careers such as medicine, physiotherapy or pharmacy. Other students aim to specialise in biology at university or take the subject as a valuable complement to their other studies. Biologists are very employable as they develop many skills in practical work, numeracy and written communication. The entry requirements for science-related courses at university usually include at least two A levels in sciences or one science and maths. We therefore advise all AS Biology students to also take another science or traditional maths at AS level.
