A level Biology

[kezia_88]

Hi, I need an A level in biology in order to go to university and study physiotherapy. The problem is I have already started my A levels I'm 17 and in my first year of 6th form, I have taken, eng lit, psychology, pe, and business. My options to take biology are, night school, home learning, staying on at my 6th form for an extra year (which messes up my gap year I wanted to take) or try and complete the A level in one year (next year) This has really got me I am interested in any information anybody has on the subject. Advice on what to do and how to go about it would be brilliant.

Thank you

you could always take a year out after university or between your 2nd and 3rd years. plus the risky version is to go to the uni on another course and try to switch within the first 2 weeks. dunno how that would work in your subject. normally unis are looking to see you are smart enough to get in, but specialist courses may not accept you without the appropriate qualifications.

I sort of know where you're coming from; I wanted to do a degree in Molecular Biology for which you needed biology but only had Human Biology as an A level. My uni was ok with that provided I did well in it. I also know someone who had to take a kind of crash course module in the first year, then convert to the actual degree that she wanted to do.

Different universities have different policies on this kind of thing though, so your best bet is to talk to your tutors and universities that you're interested in and see what they think would be best for you.
