Learning outcomes

On completion of the level 0 year students should have provided evidence of being able to:

- demonstrate a familiarity with the basic concepts and principles of the subjects they have studied to the standard required for level 1 entry to their chosen pathway.
- demonstrate a familiarity with the principles and use of standard laboratory equipment.
- demonstrate practical competency in making observations and measurements accurately and safely.
- evaluate qualitative and quantitative data.
- communicate the results of their work.
- apply their knowledge in problem solving and further study.

Transferable (key) skills

Students will have had the opportunity to acquire, as defined in the modules specified for the programme:

- qualities and transferable skills necessary to undertake further study at undergraduate degree level 1 in their chosen named pathway.
- skills necessary for the exercising of personal responsibility.

Assessment

The modules involve a range of coursework and examination requirements, details of which are given in the module descriptions. Overall there is a higher weighting for examination components than coursework, except for the transferable skills module, which is assessed entirely through coursework.

Learning context

The learning context for this year will be predictable, providing a familiarisation with the disciplines.
