Revised GCE in Biology

The revised GCE Biology specification will be available for first teaching from September 2008.

This specification will encourage students to:

  • develop an interest in and enthusiasm for Biology (including an interest in further study and biology-related careers);
  • develop knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other;
  • develop and demonstrate a deeper appreciation of, and understanding of, how science works;
  • appreciate how society makes decisions about scientific issues; and
  • understand how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society.
