This Quality Assured Level 3 Diploma course is designed to appeal to those who wish to develop a sound knowledge of Human Biology, and will provide a basis on which to study other Human Biology related topics.
This subject covers all the aspects of the life-science study of humans and all organisms from the tiniest single-celled animal cells that make up the body to plants, cells combining to form all our various organs, how these work and what affects us. Details about how our body works, how and why we get sick, as well the environment that we live in is covered.

Key Topics
The Level 3 Human Biology course is divided into ten comprehensive modules:
Module 1: The Chemistry of Life and Cells
Module 2: Gaseous Exchange, Enzymes and Digestion
Module 3: Genes, Cell Cycles and Genetic Engineering and its Applications
Module 4: The Mammal, Bacteria and Viruses
Module 5: Biotechnology, Antibiotics, Disease and Diagnosis
Module 6: Respiration, Photosynthesis, Stimulus and Response
Module 7: Hormones, Homeostasis, Muscle and Movement
Module 8: Genetics, Variation and Evolution
Module 9: Environment
Module 10: Life Cycle
All students must be 16 years of age and above. We require a minimum prior learning to GCSE standard in order for the students to manage study and the assumed knowledge within course content.This course is openly available to anyone wishing to learn more about Human Biology and would like to take part in a highly rewarding home study course. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and study further, so we try to keep our entry requirements to a minimum.

Human Biology (Level 3 Diploma)
How is this course structured?The Level 3 Human Biology course is divided into ten comprehensive modules:
The course is divided into ten modules, each with an associated assignment. Following completion of all ten modules, students will be required to complete an online examination.
Module 1: The Chemistry of Life and Cells
The first module looks at the basic structure and function of cells, and explores the chemical processes essential to life. It will cover biological molecules and cell transportation, as well as the underpinning components.
This module forms the basis of subsequent modules and contains the building blocks of biological synthesis.
Module 2: Gaseous Exchange, Enzymes and Digestion
This module looks at the structure and function of the digestive system, respiratory system and the role of enzymes in vital processes essential to nutrient extraction and assimilation.
Each topic is linked to provide you with a logical overview of how oxygen is exchanged between the atmosphere and the blood, together with how the biochemical processes are initiated in order to maintain equilibrium within the body tissues.
Module 3: Genes, Cell Cycles and Genetic Engineering and its Applications
The processes that continually occur within the cells of our body are essential to growth, repair and function. This module examines these processes in detail and presents both description and explanation of the genetic code, gene expression in humans and how variation and mutation occurs within a species. The module links the biological evidence to techniques and concepts of genetic engineering which is relevant to human existence today.
In addition there will be discussion about genetic markers for disease screening and the issues surrounding gene therapy.
Module 4: The Mammal, Bacteria and Viruses
In this module we look at the structure and function of the human circulatory system including cardiac cycle and cardiac output. We also examine the composition of blood and the microbiology of viruses and bacteria; also discussing how these are transported around the body.
This is a comprehensive module, spanning many body systems but will provide students with a logical overview of how 'foreign' material enters the body and affects wellbeing.
Module 5: Biotechnology, Antibiotics, Disease and Diagnosis
This module is a logical progression from module 4, and looks at a variety of diseases and conditions for all body systems. It will briefly present a range of symptoms and discuss the possible outcomes of these diseases in relation to each system.
The module also looks at the history, production and application of antibiotics, screening processes and disease differentiation. You will be able to link knowledge from the previous modules to common conditions and this will provide a logical framework for consideration of various biological processes.
Module 6: Respiration, Photosynthesis, Stimulus and Response
The way we react to stimuli is vital to continued successful existence. This module will cover the structure and function of the nervous system and look in detail at how humans respond to various stimuli such as pain, danger etc.
The module also covers photosynthesis in detail and relates this crucial biological process to our own wellbeing and successful development as a species.
Module 7: Hormones, Homeostasis, Muscle and Movement
This module will explore the way in which the human body maintains a steady internal environment. Included in this will be detailed exploration of the role of hormones in this process and how the external environment can influence these processes.
Incorporated within this module will be the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system and how this relates to maintaining homeostasis.
Module 8: Genetics, Variation and Evolution
Evolution within any species is dynamic. This module examines human evolution and the impact of genetics on diversity, variation and natural selection processes.
Sex determination will be discussed in some depth and related to different non-genetic influences. In addition, inheritance will be looked at in respect of evolutionary processes and links discussed.
Module 9: Environment
The environment is crucial to human survival.
In this module we will examine energy and nutrient flows, as well as looking at ecosystems and their role in human endurance. The module will examine farming methods and food production relevant to human nutritional needs and problems. In addition the module will discuss various trophic levels and the role of other animals and plant life in relation to our own existence.
This module will bring together the underlying concepts of human survival and health related to planetary wellbeing and changes.
Module 10: Life Cycle
In this final module reproduction, growth and development will be looked at in some detail. Exploration of different ages of human beings will include looking at relevant processes such as language acquisition, child development stages and what happens to us in old age.
Pregnancy and birth will be covered and related to different essentials of life such as healthy diet, wellbeing and how these things are linked to cognitive and physical development.
COURSE ASSESSMENT
When you have completed the programme, your tutor needs to verify that you have worked through all parts of any Workbooks, Activities and Exercises successfully.
100% of the final mark is made up of an online multiple choice exam.
Upon verification of the activities, exercises and assignments, you will be awarded your diploma by ABC Awards as confirmation that your written work has met all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the programme.
