    Course overview

    What Is IB Bio HL?

    IB Biology Higher Level is a 240-hour two-year course covering everything in SL plus five HL-only topics: nucleic acids, metabolism (cell respiration & photosynthesis), plant biology, deeper genetics & evolution, and animal physiology. HL students take longer Paper 1 and Paper 2 exams plus a Paper 3 with an additional option topic. It is the standard prerequisite for medicine, dentistry, biomedical sciences and biology degrees globally.

    Who is it for?
    DP students taking Biology at Higher Level — particularly those targeting medicine, dentistry, biomedical sciences or top-tier life-science programs that require a 6 or 7 in HL Biology.
    How is it taught?
    Live 1-to-1 online classes with a verified Biology mentor. Your first session is a free trial that maps your level, then classes follow a personal plan. From $15/hour.
