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. Numeracy, data analysis and good communication skills will be highlighted. To give students an understanding of the different programme areas a range of lectures on a selection of topics will be given.
