IGCSE Human Biology – exams not included

Human Biology is the study of the structure and function of the human body, looking at how the human species evolved, how we change over our lifespan, how we adapt to life stressors, and how our bodies are influenced by food, nutrition, disease, and environmental factors.

But for everything we know, there’s so much more to discover, such as immunology and evolution.

This course will develop your knowledge of human biology, with a focus on the medical aspects of human processes, examining how the human species evolved, how we change over our lifespan, and how external factors affect us. You learn about the physiology of the major systems of the body, the impact of nutrition and the environment on health, and human development and evolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

IGCSE Human Biology is an internationally recognised qualification – equivalent to GCSE - that delves into the fascinating world of how our bodies work. Students explore the building blocks of life, delve into the intricacies of organ systems, and uncover the processes that keep us alive and thriving. From cells and tissues to nutrition and disease, this course fosters a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the biological world, laying a strong foundation for further studies or personal curiosity.
IGCSE Human Biology can be endlessly fascinating because it peels back the layers of what makes you, you. Explore the intricate systems that power your every move, unravel the mysteries of disease and immunity, and journey from microscopic cells to complex organs. Imagine deciphering the code of heredity, understanding the symphony of hormones, or unravelling the marvels of the brain. If you're curious about how your body works, thrives, and sometimes falters, this course promises a treasure trove of discoveries, igniting your passion for the incredible machine you inhabit.
Beyond the captivating knowledge of how your body works, IGCSE Human Biology equips you with a valuable toolbox of transferable skills. You'll sharpen your analytical and problem-solving abilities through practical investigations, learn to interpret and evaluate scientific data with critical thinking, and hone your communication skills by explaining complex concepts clearly. Additionally, you'll develop your research skills by finding and analysing information and cultivate a scientific mindset that approaches challenges with curiosity and a thirst for understanding. These skills are not only valuable for further science studies but also transferable to various academic and professional pursuits.
An IGCSE in Human Biology opens doors to diverse possibilities. It serves as a strong foundation for further science studies like A-Levels or BTECs in healthcare, paving the way for careers in medicine, nursing, biotechnology, or research. Additionally, it equips you with valuable analytical and research skills sought after in various fields like education, environmental science, forensics, and even business. Even if you don't pursue a science-related career, the knowledge gained fosters a deeper understanding of your own health and wellbeing, making informed choices throughout your life. Ultimately, an IGCSE in Human Biology empowers you with knowledge, skills, and a curious mind, ready to explore and contribute to the world around you.

Polite, informative and non-pushy!

Polite, informative over the phone experience. Able to support with my decision making process when it came to selecting which course would be right for me and my career direction. Was also able to talk me through different payment options and which would be most beneficial for me without it feeling like a pushy sales pitch.

God bless the Student Success Coordinator!

When I purchased and committed to this online course I had no idea how difficult I would find completing a qualification in this way. I am autistic and have ADHD and I massively underestimated my challenges with regards to this format. I simply would not have been able to complete this course if it were not for the support and understanding of my student success coordinator, Kiera. She was my saving grace, with her encouragement, positive attitude and help with generous extensions. This enabled me to have time to seek out the outside help I needed to overcome certain technological obstacles and to master the belief that I could really do what was required. The speed-grading subscription option was also very helpful at one point. The service was excellent and even quicker than promised. I would hesitate before committing to any purely online qualification again, as I think there are not many yet made truly accessible for all neurodivergent people and their needs, but I would recommend learn direct to someone, if they were going to undertake one. This is because of the kindness and accessibility of the online support staff that I experienced. Kiera is a wonder.
