UKBC British Biology Senior Olympiad 

The British Biology Olympiad (BBO) challenges and stimulates students with an interest in biology to expand and extend their talents. It enables students to demonstrate their talent and to be suitably rewarded with publicly recognised certificates. The BBO is open to students in post-16 education studying at school or college. The competition consists of two, 45-minute multiple choice papers to be taken online under staff supervised exam conditions. For more information: https://ukbiologycompetitions.org/british-biology-olympiad/

UKBC Intermediate Biology Olympiad 

The competition consists of a one-hour multiple choice paper to be taken online. Questions are set on topics students are likely to have covered at GCSE and in their first year of A level. Some additional ideas will be introduced requiring their problem-solving skills and understanding of core principals. Past papers can be found: https://ukbiologycompetitions.org/intermediate-biology-olympiad/

UKBC Biology Challenge 

This is open to our younger years and consists of two, twenty-five-minute multiple choice papers to be taken online under staff supervised exam conditions. Questions will be set on the school curriculum, but the competition will also reward those students whose knowledge of the subject has been increased by reading books and magazines, watching natural history programmes, taking notice of the news media for items of biological interest, and are generally aware of our natural flora and fauna.
