Human Biology (AAQ)

Why Study an AAQ in Human Biology?

The OCR Level 3 Alternative Academic Qualification Cambridge Advanced National in Human Biology (Extended Certificate) will develop knowledge, understanding and skills that will help prepare for progression to undergraduate study and are relevant to the medical science sector.

Course Outline

The qualification comprises six units. Each unit has its own assessment and those assessments can happen at different points during the year. This unitised, flexible approach means learning and achievements can be recognised in bite-sized chunks, rather than all at the end of the course.

Careers and Opportunties

Together with other relevant qualifications at Level 3, such as A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physical Education, Psychology and Sociology, students will gain the required knowledge to be able to use the qualification to support entry to higher education courses as outlined below:

  • Biological Sciences degree
  • Human Biology degree
