| Increase your knowledge in human anatomy and physiology. This course provides you with the knowledge base for a career in health sciences or simply provides a better insight into your own body. You will understand what is a human body, how it works, and which factors determine health. This course provides a solid introduction to human biology:, covering cells, tissues, membranes, the skeleton, the digestive system, the endocrine system, respiration, reproduction, the excretory system, muscles, the nervous system and the circulatory system.
ACS Student Comment: The materials were clear and informative and lead you to explore other information. The online quizzes were a good way to check understanding. The assessments meant you needed to research in more depth. I have started an Occupational Therapy course at Uni so it has given me a good foundation. An excellent learning opportunity to work in my own time, but with support. Lisa Greenhead, UK - Human Biology 1a (Anatomy and Physiology) course. |

"Biochemistry - Animals" is the knowledge basis for all human and animal health studies. Learn with highly qualified and experienced tutors the basis of life.
ACS student comment: "Having not finished high school myself and never studied biochemistry my confidence is a little low but the encouragement I am receiving from Honor [tutor] is a tremendous help and making it easier for me as I go. [The course] is helping me realize what I am actually capable of and that I am smarter than I thought. Thank you for making it possible for me to study my passion while still being able to work." Melissa Smith, Australia, Biochemistry 1 (Plants) course.
This course is similar to "Biochemistry - Plants"; except for the fact that it deals with animals. Lessons cover: Introduction to biochemistry, lipids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, thermo regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, absorption, acidity, alkalinity, chemical analysis, and industry applications.
Some secondary school chemistry will be helpful though it is not essential. |

Study the Molecules that Living things are Made of
This course focuses on developing a greater familiarisation with biochemical molecules Students would normally have completed Plant or Animal Biochemistry I, before attempting this module.
Why Study Biochemistry?
- These are the things that you are made of. Understand molecules and you understand more about your own health and wellbeing
- Plants, animals, food, pests, diseases -things that concern us in every industry and every aspect of our daily lives, are made up of biochemical molecules. Understand the molecules and you have a head start in everything from horticulture and agriculture to health services, psychology and food inductries.

Discover the world of Botany.
The course contains the basis of plant science, and is an introduction to plant physiology and taxonomy, covering general botany including morphology and anatomy.
ACS Student comment: "It has been an eye opener!! I am now living in a different world, my whole perspective to life and nature has changed and now I cherish it more. It has broadened my mind and advanced my level of looking at things in my every day work as well. [My tutor] encourages me a lot and that kept me going. She would give more positive constructive correction where necessary as if it was not that bad at all. She has been supportive and understanding.Very good." Lucia Masuku, South Africa - Botany 1 course.

DO YOU WANT A CAREER IN SCIENCES...?
It's often wise to take it one step at a time.
- This way you can familiarize yourself with the industry; see if you are suited to the industry.
- Experience has taught us that students who take on achievable studies are most likely to complete them and move on to further and higher qualifications (ie. Often you are more likely to eventually achieve a diploma if you start with a certificate; then step up after completing that first course).
Our Certificate in Applied Science may be ideal for you! It gives you an excellent foundation in applied science with many options to select specialisation (plant, animal, environmental, health) and very relevant subjects in science today. It is also an excellent tool for people wishing to work or working in science related jobs without formal qualifications, to improve employability and move up the ladder in your field.

Genetics is Changing how we Think and Work in health science, agriculture, horticulture... and much more!
With modern advances in DNA analysis and gene sequencing, an understanding of genetics will be more important as we move into the future. However, it can be a hard subject to understand if you don't have a proper grasp of the fundamentals. Understanding those fundamentals is what this course is all about!
Studying genetics can feel like studying another language – the biological language of genes and DNA. It is expected that you will have some prior biological knowledge to undertake this course.
This is a vast subject and knowledge of genetics is growing daily - you cannot learn everything in one course; but with this course as a foundation, you are better placed to understand what you encounter, and continue your learning over the years that follow.
Learn about cell functioning, traits, characteristics and heritability.
This is how living organisms become what they are, and how different species vary from one anothe.

Generally speaking, forensic science is the application of any scientific knowledge to the law. It draws on principles and methods of traditional sciences as well as specific forensic science techniques such as anthropometry, fingerprinting, and blood stain analysis. Evidence gathered using scientific principles is prepared for submission in courts where it must be presented impartially, and the ultimate test is how well it stands up in court.
