Human Biology - Cambridge Advanced National - Extended Certificate

Course summary

This Alternative Academic Qualification course aims to give students a solid foundation in all three sciences, extending their knowledge from GCSE and providing them with the practical skills needed to progress in a career in biology or medical science, both in employment and in Higher Education. This course is designed for students who want to continue with biology, but for whom A-Levels are not the chosen pathway. This course is made up of 6 units, 4 are mandatory units and 2 are optional units. The qualification is made up of 40% examined content and 60% non examined assessment (NEA) content. This approach supports you to develop both theoretical knowledge and understanding and the skills needed to apply it in a range of contexts, helping you to develop a broad and relevant set of skills and experiences.
