You'll hone your inquiry skills, learning to ask the right questions, design experiments, and draw powerful, evidence-based conclusions. If you're curious about the intricate workings of living organisms and eager to build on your Year 11 knowledge, Level 2 Biology is your next exciting step into the life sciences.

Course of study:
Get ready to dive into some of the most fascinating areas of biology! In this course, you'll uncover the secrets of genetics and evolution, explore incredible animal adaptations and delve deep into the world of cellular biology; revealing how all living things function at their most fundamental level.

While our focus at Level 2 is broad, encompassing diverse organisms and biological processes, it's worth noting that we won't be concentrating specifically on human biology topics.

It is strongly recommended that students who specifically intend studying NCEA Level 3 Biology complete the NCEA Level 2 course.
