Assessment 2: Written Assignment

This module will help develop the skills required to successfully complete a scientific degree. Students will learn what is expected of them at university, how to get the best out of lectures and tutorials and how to find and use information effectively. The material covered will have an employability theme running through it. Successful completion of the module will permit students to take greater control of their own learning and how to apply it to their future careers.
This module will also introduce students to the key skills required for future employment. Students will undertake self-assessment of their existing skill set and identify areas requiring development in their skills audit. They will map these skills to their future potential careers to identify transferable skills required.
A series of ‘employability challenges’ will help students identify and link their transferable skills. The course is delivered through a programme of lectures and tutorials supported by on-line resources and guest speakers. Students are expected to expand and develop their knowledge of the main themes through independent study and completion of an e-portfolio.
