Topics covered include surface anatomy, gross anatomy, regional anatomy, systemic, and radiographic anatomy, plus cytology and histology. This course assumes a basic understanding of anatomy, and is an ideal follow on from Human Anatomy and Physiology BSC101.
[More info & enrolment: ANATOMY II (HUMAN) BSC112]
This course is similar to Biochemistry - Plants except that it deals with animals, so there is little value in attempting both. Some secondary school chemistry will be helpful though it is not essential to success in this course.
[More info & enrolment: BIOCHEMISTRY - ANIMALS BSC103]
Biochemistry is the chemistry of living things. This course concentrates on the chemistry of the plants. Some secondary school chemistry will be helpful but not essential to your understanding of the course. This course is very similar to Biochemistry (Animals) though focused on plants so there is no need to take both.
[More info & enrolment: BIOCHEMISTRY - PLANTS BSC102]
Learn about the many of the important building blocks of life including: Amino acids, proteins, sugars, polysaccharides, lipids, enzymes, vitamins, homones, RNA and DNA. This course focuses on biochemical molecules. Students would normally have completed Plant or Animal Biochemistry I, before attempting this module.

This 100 hour long correspondence course is primarily an introduction to plant physiology and taxonomy, with some general botany including morphology and anatomy. It also satisfies the learning criteria of the Royal Horticulture Society’s Module B of the Advanced Certificate in Horticulture. (For more information on the RHS qualifications, contact the school).
[More info & enrolment: BOTANY I - PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND TAXONOMY BSC104]
An understanding of cell biology is important in many areas of study, for the cell is the building block of all living forms. This course complements studies in any area of applied biology including human health and fitness, horticulture, agriculture and wildlife management. Student Comment:
"the course was better than I expected" "I am studying a Bachelor of Health Science next year at university. I gained far more knowledge from this course than I expected." J.McEwan
[More info & enrolment: CELL BIOLOGY (BSC110)]
Choose from dozens of modules to create a 6 module course which gives you very practical knowledge and skills in aspects of science that are of particular interest or value to your own circumstances.
This course is internationally accredited through International Accreditation and Recognition Council.

To obtain an ACS Diploma in Applied Science , students need to complete and pass 18 modules (each of 100 hrs in duration), plus
This course is internationally accredited through International Accreditation and Recognition Council.
[More info & enrolment: DIPLOMA IN APPLIED SCIENCE - Sc501]
This course complements Engineering I, developing skills to apply appropriate and innovative engineering solutions, to improve efficiency and productivity in agriculture and horticulture. It covers: surveying, earthworks, water management, environmental control (eg. heating, cooling, ventilation, etc.), fencing, chemical applications, mechanising manual tasks, improving engineering efficiency/operations and developing engineering solutions to different workplace tasks/problems.
[More info & enrolment: ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS (ENGINEERING II) BSC205]
Develops an understanding of the operation of muscles and nerves, in movements & reactions observed in the body. This course covers: nerves, the nervous system, motor skills, structure & function of skeletal muscle, muscular strength, endurance and flexibility. Prerequisites: Human Biology IB or equivalent.
[More info & enrolment: HUMAN BIOLOGY II BSC202 (MUSCLES & MOVEMENT)]
Develops skills to communicate clearly and effectively using medical terminology.
This course is relevant to anyone working or wishing to work in fields of health, alternative medicine or para medical areas; such as reception for a doctor or natural therapist.
[More info & enrolment: MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY (BSC109)]
An advanced course on human physiology that will develop further your understanding of the principles of physiology, examining functions of the cells, tissues and systems of the human body. The course details how our bodies maintain internal equilibrium and health while exposed to the most variable range of conditions, such as physical, psychological and environmental factors.
A course designed for health therapists and all those working in health care that want or need to develop a deeper understanding of the human body processes and health maintenance.
Prerequisite: Human Anatomy & Physiology BSC101 or equivalent.
[More info & enrolment: PHYSIOLOGY II BSC111]
Diploma in Pre-Medical Studies Jointly delivered by ACS and Warnborough College
So you want to become a Doctor?
An intensive Pre-Medical Diploma with direct entry to several World Health Organisation (WHO) recognised medical universities in the Caribbean. This is an excellent opportunity for any individual in any part of the world to follow a career in medicine. Students do not need to come to the UK to take the course - it can be studied from your home. However, once you have graduated with the Diploma you will need to attend full-time medical school.

This course assumes a basic knowledge of Statistics, at least to the level covered by our Research Project I course. A 100 hour course such as this will not make you into a statistician, but it will provide the most essential knowledge and skills required by consultants and researchers in a wide variety of disciplines taught by ACS.
