Human Biology

This exciting course will develop applied knowledge, understanding and skills in Applied Human Biology, particularly in the context of medical science.

“The tutors were great. They could have just covered the bare minimum that the syllabus required; instead they covered bits of the A Level syllabus as well if they were appropriate to the students’ planned degrees. They were always approachable if I didn’t understand a particular concept, even if that concept was beyond the scope of the course, and would help to explain it to me.

I had a great time at Exeter College. All the staff were friendly, approachable and really went out of their way to help the Access students. The topics were explained and demonstrated in an engaging fashion that made it an enjoyable experience.

After I finished my Access course, I have started an integrated master’s in physics with Astrophysics at the University of Bath.”

Microbiology – Extend Option

Please note: This course is one of our Extend Options designed to be combined with other A Level programmes or BTEC Extended Certificate courses to make up a full timetable. If you are planning to study an A Level programme at Exeter College you will need to enrol on a four element programme, and cannot apply for this course on it’s own.

To study this Extend option you should also be taking AS Levels including Biology.

Neurobiology – Extend Option

To study this extend you should also be taking AS Levels including Biology and/or Psychology.

Meteorology and Weather Forecasting – Extend Option

“I study PE, Biology and Psychology A Levels and find they link together nicely. I chose my subjects by thinking about what I enjoy the most and what could help lead to a career in Sports, as that is my main interest.”

“Physics is my favourite subject and I particularly enjoy atomic physics. There is a helpful link between Physics and Maths, which is very interesting and lots of cross over, for example, when studying kinematics.”

“Maths can help you build your confidence to try more things, as it’s really rewarding when you get the right answers and figure things out by yourself.”

Chemistry

This course offers you a structured transition from GCSE Science and Chemistry courses and prepares you for the more in depth scientific study of higher education courses or the world of work in a scientific field.

Geology

Geology is a subject that brings Science and Physical Geography together to help us understand one of the most interesting subjects imaginable – the Earth we live on – and how it formed and developed over billions of years.
