The IGCSE Human Biology course includes aspects of science that are relevant to human function and therefore appropriate for distance and adult learning.The course is designed to be accessible to students who may have only a limited previous background in science. If you have some background in biology then you should find that some of the lessons build upon things that you have met before in your earlier studies.
Objectives of the IGCSE Human Biology Course
The Edexcel IGCSE in Biology enables students to:
develop a positive attitude to human biology in the twenty–first century
look at the way biology affects your everyday life
evaluate the scientific material that you come across in newspapers, magazines and on the television

About this course
Key Topics
Module One: Cell Processes Module Two: Human Physiology A Module Three: Human Physiology B Module Four: Reproduction and Heredity Module Five: Microorganisms, Disease and Environment.
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.
