Following feedback from teachers, we have amended the specification and sample assessment material for the Cambridge Advanced National in Human Biology (H049/H149).

Amended specification

The amendments include the following:

• Unit F170 – We've amended the breadth and depth column in section 3.3.1 to improve clarity. We've also corrected ‘Tenia sp’ to ‘Tinea sp’ in section 4.1.2.
• Unit F175 – We've corrected the subtopic reference from section 3.5 to ‘3.4 Reproductive health plan’.

We have listed these amendments and the relevant section numbers at the front of the updated specification.

You can view and download the updated specification (version 8) from the Human Biology qualification page on our website and Teach Cambridge.

Please make sure you're using the latest version of the specification with your students.

Amended support materials

To reflect these amendments, we've also updated the following support materials:

• Scheme of work: Fundamentals of human biology (Unit F170) – This is available from the Teaching > Planning section of Teach Cambridge.
• Sample assessment material for Unit F175 – This is available from the Assessment > NEA/Coursework > Sample assessment materials section on Teach Cambridge.
