Common Questions

A Level Biology FAQs

What degrees can you do with a biology A Level?

After studying biology at A Level, you may consider studying a degree in:

Biomedical science
Genetics
Marine biology
Microbiology
Zoology

This can then lead to careers in agriculture, biomedicine, conservation and food science, among other niche disciplines.

What do you do in A Level biology?

Biology is concerned with studying living organisms and how these interact with one another, as well as their environments. It’s a multidisciplinary topic spanning several fields. A Level biology covers the study of cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, genetics, ecology and evolution.

Can I study A Level biology at home?

Our online A Level Biology course is exactly the same course as you’d study in a physical school or college. It carries exactly the same value and you take the same exams. The key difference with online learning is that you can study wherever and whenever suits you. All you need is an internet connection.

How many exams are there in A Level biology?

There are three written exams in total. Usually, these are taken during May or June.

If you are studying with us, your parents or guardians will receive a letter from us during the October before, asking if you need help finding an exam centre. If you need help, you must let us know by mid-October. Once you’ve found a centre, it’s up to you to register with them and pay any fees.

Does A Level biology have coursework?

There is no coursework in Edexcel’s AS and A Level biology. The subject is assessed through three exams, and you’ll take part in practicals to prove your skills and techniques.

Why study A Level biology?

Completing A Level biology can open up a big range of university courses and careers. It’s often an essential requirement for biology, biomedical science, dentistry, and veterinary medicine degrees.

How hard is an online biology A Level?

Whilst A Level biology is naturally more challenging than GCSE, with good time management and self-determination, you can gain a good understanding of the topics covered and feel confident answering the questions you’ll face in exams.

There are no prior learning requirements you need to study this subject at King’s InterHigh. However, we believe you’d benefit the most from this course if you’ve previously received a Level 2 qualification in GCSE (or IGCSE) Biology or Double Science, at grade 7 or higher.

VAT charges explained

The UK Government has implemented a policy to charge VAT on independent schools taking effect from the 1st of January 2025. This VAT charge is payable by families who are based in, or access, King’s InterHigh from the UK. This change does not impact families who are based outside the UK and access King’s InterHigh from another country.

We understand the significant financial commitment you make in choosing our online school as well as how important it is to be able to financially plan. After careful review of the details of the legislation, we will support parents by absorbing costs ourselves, so that a slower phasing in of this unwelcome change reduces its financial impact on families.

For the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year (starting September 2024), Inspired Education Group will absorb much of the 20% VAT charge. For the Spring and Summer terms when the 20% VAT will now apply, we will only pass on 8.5% to families, taking up the difference ourselves.

To further support families with the financial implications of this change in government policy, for the 2025-2026 academic year (starting in September 2025) there will be no inflationary tuition fee increases, and that Inspired Education Group will continue to absorb costs to limit the increase to 8.5% for that academic year. Overall, this will mean we have phased in 17% of the 20% VAT cost over two years to avoid sudden increases for families and have not increased tuition fees.

King’s InterHigh is committed to offering competitive fees and accessible, high-quality independent education, along with the unique benefits of online learning. We are pleased that through careful cost control and the benefits of being part of Inspired, the leading global group of premium schools, we can significantly reduce the financial effect on families due to this change in UK VAT policy.

Technology integration fee

At Inspired, we are committed to investing in cutting-edge technology to enhance student learning and development, ensuring they are well-prepared for the future. This fee will contribute to the development of our Inspired AI tools and our investment in best-in-class learning technology.
