Oxford Home Schooling’s Human Biology IGCSE Course

The new Oxford Home Schooling course is designed to prepare home learners for the Edexcel IGCSE Human Biology specification 4HB0.

There are five course modules:

  • Module 1: Cell Processes
  • Module 2: Human Physiology A
  • Module 3: Human Physiology B
  • Module 4: Reproduction and Heredity
  • Module 5: Microorganisms, Disease and Environment

Coursework is not required – assessment is through a final written examination. But practical skills are developed within the home environment and the course forms an ideal preparation for the study of biological subjects at A-level.

Human Biology may be taken alongside other Science GCSE or IGCSE courses and augments a number of the topics which are covered in Biology. Together they provide excellent preparation for Biology and Human Biology A-level options.

The course is designed to be accessible to students who may have only a limited previous background in science.

The practical work described at various places in this course helps you to develop your skills for the practical-based components of the theory exams.  It is not essential to carry out this work yourself, but if you can undertake some of it at home, or have the opportunity to perform supervised laboratory work in the course of your studies, this will be a great help.
