What will I study?
Course modules:
Academic English and Study Skills
Improve and develop your skills in academic reading, writing, listening and speaking. By doing practical tasks you will develop the skills to read and interpret academic texts and write academic assignments.
Foundation Biology
This module covers the basic principles of organisation in living systems from biochemistry, genetics and cells, to whole organisms, populations and ecosystems.
Foundation Chemistry
You'll explore various principles of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry including atomic structure and chemical bonding, synthesis of organic compounds, acids and bases, reaction kinetics and thermodynamics.
Foundation Physics
Topics covered include key physical quantities, kinematics, forces and collisions, waves, electricity, radioactivity and the nucleus, work, energy and power.
Mathematics for Science
Provides you with an understanding of the key mathematical topics relevant to the sciences, including trigonometry, differential and integral calculus, logarithms and probability and statistics.
Advanced Mathematics
You will gain an understanding in a number of topics including counting techniques, concepts of arithmetic and geometric series, vectors, complex numbers and their algebra, trigonometry and transcendental functions, linear algebra and numerical methods for solving equations.
Plus ONE of the following options:
Applied Physics
You'll use your knowledge of forces and thermodynamics and apply these to weather and climate. You'll also further your understanding of forces and waves and apply it to geophysical sciences.
Further Chemistry
An exploration of the principles of electrochemistry, analytical chemistry and spectroscopic techniques.
