This course assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and will take you from the living cell through to all the human body systems. It is a prerequisite for the level 4 Physiology module. 

Human Biology

The course assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and will take you from basic chemistry to the more advanced aspects of organic chemistry. It is a prerequisite for the level 4 Biochemistry module. 

Chemistry

This course assumes only a general familiarity with maths and numbers as they are used in that are used in everyday life. The sections will lead you through some fundamental maths principles that are supportive for general understanding of maths and particularly statistics. The later sections will introduce you to mathematical principles that are most directly relevant for the science and nutrition courses at CNELM.

This module is designed to review and build on your existing knowledge of basic physiology/human biology. We will be reviewing the major physiological systems and exploring the various mechanisms used to control and harmonise all the myriad body processes to achieve homeostasis. A good understanding of how these systems of control operate and integrate is vital to the Nutritional Science/Therapy and Personalised Nutrition. 

Students who are required to complete the Human Biology (level 3) bioscience access course must successfully do so before starting this level 4 course.

The aim of the module is to further develop student understanding of the scientific method and the statistical approaches that underpin nutritional and biomedical research, patho-physiological reasoning and evidence based practice. This module also introduces systematic search strategies, critical appraisal forms, and the tools that can be used for the statistical analysis of research data.
