84 Natural Sciences A-level Programs

A-levels are internationally recognised qualifications. Universities in many countries will accept three A level A-C grades as meeting the admissions criteria across a wide range of courses.

A-level programmes are made up of two halves. The first year is called an AS Level. The second year is called an A2. The two halves make up the final A-level grade.

Biology A Level consists of lectures, discussion, fieldwork, practical work and investigations.

BTEC IT is a vocational course assessed through internal and externally set coursework plus one exam.

This course explores topics such as the foundations of physics, forces, and motion, electrons, waves and photos, astrophysics and particles, along with developing your practical physics skills.

Are you interested in the human and natural world? A-Level Geography is a hugely diverse and dynamic subject. You will explore a wide range of current environmental and political issues occurring around the world, including natural hazards, climate change, migration, development and globalisation.

Brickfields Asia College (BAC), a Cambridge International Associate Partner is proud to offer the CIE A-Level programme which would enable students to progress into degrees in Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Engineering Actuarial Sciences, Pilot, Food Sciences, Forensic Science and Biomedical Sciences amongst others.

A Level Biology A offers an exciting, context-based approach to learning about the natural world. This course has been designed to motivate students by helping them realise how an understanding of many of today’s contemporary issues require the knowledge and understanding of underpinning biological principles

It is a focussed programme of study with a minimum of three subjects studied, usually over two years, with examinations in the second year. The CATS programme is specifically designed for motivated international students with additional English language support to help you excel in your studies. You can also study your A levels in one year on the CATS Fast-track programme if you want to progress to university sooner.

A level biology is the study of life itself. The course explores the theories and principles involved in all living systems. Topics you will learn about include: lifestyle, transport, genes and health, development, plants and the environment, the natural environment and species survival, energy, exercise and co-ordination, as well as practical biology and research skills. The course will provide you with the chance to gain a solid understanding of the principles of genetics, molecules, taxonomy, natural selection, evolutionary theory, global warming, bacteria, viruses, and more.

Climate change, migration, natural disasters, inequality, energy security and water insecurity are just some of the challenges facing the next generation, which geographers must help address. A key element of the Edexcel A level and GCSE B specifications offered is the interrelationship between people and their environments alongside an understanding of the opportunities, problems and conflicts that result.

A level courses are a natural choice for you if you have enjoyed studying and have been successful on your GCSE courses. They offer you the chance to focus your attention on a smaller number of subjects – usually 3 or 4. This helps to build your knowledge and understanding in the areas in which you have proven strengths and strong interest.

The Core Maths qualification is for students who have passed GCSE Mathematics at Grade 5 or above but have decided not to study A Level Mathematics. It builds upon and strengthens existing skills and focuses on using and applying Mathematics to solve problems relevant to our everyday lives. Students in Social Sciences, Business, Psychology, Sciences and Health Sciences who are not taking A Level Mathematics may find the Core Maths element useful in preparing for university study where a working application of Maths or Statistics may be required.

Geography combines the study of both social and natural science. During the course you'll look at the earth and its atmosphere, as well as how human activity can affect them. You'll also look deeper in to the natural environment and how human culture interacts with different landscapes. The course will provide you with an understanding of where things are found, why they are there and how they can develop over time.

You will gain an awareness of the World and its people as well as an understanding of the latest developments in environmental issues. Engage critically with real-world issues and places and assess major issues including place identity, rising sea levels, rise of new superpowers, energy and water supplies, migration and national identity.
