Project Description
Course Overview
AQA Qualification Code: 7402 – WJEC Qualification Code: 1400QS
Swansea College has created a new programme for A Level Science.
Additional Benefits for A Level Biology Plus Course
- Online course
- Email support with subject tutor
- 2 online mock assessments
- Predicted results
- Reference
- UCAS application support
The Classroom Environment
Our online/in-person classes are small making learning more accessible for learners and gives the classroom environment a calm atmosphere to learn. Having a limited number of students in the classroom gives the students more one-on-one time with their teacher, for teachers to review students’ work, to provide feedback on what went well, and how to improve students’ work for the future.
About our teachers
Our teachers are enthusiastic about learning. Teachers will support students towards their individual pathways in education. Whether the student wishes to understand more subject knowledge if the student wishes to gain their qualification in A-Level Biology, A-Level Chemistry, and/or A-Level Physics. Our teachers are here to help!

Course Outcome
A Level in Biology (you must take the A Level exams and practical assessment to achieve this). Upon successful completion of the exams, you will receive an A Level in Biology issued by AQA/WJEC
Thinking of Going to University?
A Levels are assessed primarily through examinations, and in some cases, coursework and/or practicals too, which are then combined to give a final grade. If you are planning to go on to higher education, this grade can then be translated into Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) points. You will be awarded up to 56 points per A Level which can then be added together to reach the total number of UCAS points required by your chosen university.
