Aims
To enable students to develop a range of underpinning skills to aid further study in their chosen academic programme.
To introduce the students to the wide range of topics within the molecular bioscience areas.
To provide a structured tutorial component that will encourage students to engage with personal development planning and employability.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate understanding of a selected topic relevant to the chosen degree programme by giving an oral presentation to the tutorial group.
2.
Demonstrate written communication skills by producing an essay (1000 words) on a given topic.
3.
Demonstrate engagement with personal planning and use of feedback.
4.
Demonstrate an understanding of selected topical issues in molecular bioscience.

Additional Information:This module aims to provide and develop the basic skills required to successfully study a programme in the molecular bioscience areas. Students will be encouraged to take charge of their learning via structured tutorials that should develop their independent academic skills. Furthermore, to highlight the multidisciplinary nature of molecular bioscience a range of lectures on a broad selection of topics will be given.
