Course summary
This one-year, full-time course in Applied Sciences provides students with practical laboratory skills and theoretical knowledge required for employment or further study in different science-related contexts. Students can choose between pathways in Biology or Chemistry and will study a mixture of core and specialist units. A variety of teaching methods are employed for the delivery of the course units. These include, tutorials, group work, research and presentations, practical experiments, visits, and ecological surveys. The different methods employed have been devised to promote students’ academic development and confidence as scientists. This is achieved through the development of not only practical and technical skills, but also through the development of mathematical, analytical, critical thinking and evaluative skills.
