Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

IGCSE Biology

IGCSE Biology involves a significant amount of terminology, names of species, body parts, and biological processes that need to be memorized. However, understanding the essence of concepts and the relationships between them is more important than rote learning alone. The ability to apply knowledge to explain phenomena is essential.
Basic knowledge of Chemistry (regarding atoms, molecules, simple chemical reactions) will be very helpful when studying topics such as biological molecules, enzymes, nutrition, respiration, and photosynthesis. Basic mathematical skills (calculating ratios, percentages, understanding graphs, simple statistics) are also necessary, especially in genetics and experimental data analysis.
Practical skills are very important. Students need to know how to use basic laboratory equipment (such as microscopes), perform experimental procedures safely and accurately, observe and record results, draw scientific diagrams, and process collected data. The practical assessment (Practical Paper or Alternative to Practical) is a compulsory part and constitutes a significant percentage of the grade.
Studying IGCSE Biology as a separate subject (Separate Science) will go deeper and cover more detailed topics than the Biology knowledge taught in Combined Science or Co-ordinated Science programs (which are often equivalent to a Double Award). Studying Biology separately provides a more solid and detailed foundation, which is particularly useful if students intend to pursue Biology at the IB or A-Level.
This is an essential foundational subject for most fields in Life and Health Sciences, including Biology (various specializations), Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing, Biotechnology, Environmental Science, Agriculture, Forestry, Veterinary Science, Food Science, Nutrition, Psychology (related to neurobiology), Sports Science, and many other related disciplines.
