Completed my first course and completely loved it and currently doing my second course. The package was delivered right at my doorstep and awesome tutor at the other end of the phone or email whenever required. Assignments were always assessed within 2-3 days and there was no stress on deadlines, you finish modules at your own will and time. I would surely endorse it.

This is quite flexible learning method. I am working professional with two kids and a dog and so it is difficult to find time to finish a diploma course. But NCC has helped a great deal and the IT assistance is awesome. I would definitely endorse them.

Specific examples of drugs will be given, together with the correlating diseases they are used to treat; for example students will look at antibiotics, analgesics, chemotherapy and many more.
Module 8: Clinical immunology and epidemiology
This module will look at the basis of immunology, what it means in terms of disease, and prevention such as vaccination and inoculation. The way in which vaccines are made and also how immunology is linked to epidemiology and predicting disease in the population will be covered.
Module 9: Nutrition and psychology
Nutrition is an important part of health and wellbeing. We look at different food groups, the body's requirements and the way in which food is used by the body to provide energy. We will also be looking at eating disorders within this module, together with malnutrition. Psychological aspects of health and disease are explored.
