As level
Dr.Samreen_About this course
This course covers the Cambridge AS Level Biology syllabus (9700), the first year of the full A Level programme. Students will develop an advanced understanding of biological principles at the cellular and molecular level, including cell structure, biological molecules, enzymes, membrane transport, gas exchange, transport systems, and infectious disease. The course builds rigorous analytical thinking, quantitative skills, and experimental design competencies essential for university study in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, biotechnology, and biological sciences.
