Human Biology and Biology GCSE. 1 or 2 subjects?

Thread Starter Human Biology and Biology GCSE. 1 or 2 subjects? Follow 18 hours ago 18h ago Hello! I am trying to apply into Med Schools Entry 2019 in UK and I noticed that some of them have GCSE requirements with 5 to 9 GCSEs required as part of the application. I have been told that Human Biology GCSE and Biology GCSE count as the same subject. Which means if I have taken following GCSEs: English Literature, English as a Second Language, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Information Technology, Biology and Human Biology, those would count as 7 subjects, not 8! Does anybody have a background on this? Is this true?
