This module provides students with an insight into higher education, the transition from learning to studying, and an appreciation of the fundamental concepts that underpin much of chemistry and how this applies to the wider world. Bringing together the core concepts of chemistry, this highlights the importance of the roles they play and the interrelationships between traditional areas of chemistry.
In particular, this module will help students make the transition from their A-level studies to university-level study, allowing students to gain a firm foundation in these fundamental topics, which will underpin much of their future work at degree level.
Lectures encourage active learning and are supported by workshops where students can apply their knowledge.
The module is assessed through a class test, group activity and exam.
