Level 3 Biology

BIO300
Course Description Recommended Prior Learning

Pass all the BIO200 internal assessments and pass at least two of the three BIO200 external exams offered.


This course examines the internal adaptations of organisms and how these help with their survival. It  will also explore the origin of species, their evolution, and how they interact with each other and the natural environment. Students will develop their ability to explore how biological ideas are viewed in a social context. 

Students will be examined on a mix of internal and external achievement standards giving them a fair opportunity to gain endorsement.

Important - Provisional course enrolment is dependent on meeting course entry requirements, using the results from the completed internals and mock exams. If the provisional enrolment is unsuccessful, the final decision is at the discretion of the Head of Department using the end of year exams results.
