Foundations of Science for Undergraduate Degrees

With interruptions to education occurring all the time, many school students intending to go to university in the coming years may not feel prepared.

This three-week course from the University of Nottingham will provide a primer in science before joining an undergraduate science degree and will help to ease the transition to University.

The transition to university can be daunting in normal times, but recent disruption to education has meant that many students may have missed out on key topics before starting their undergraduate degrees.

On this course, you’ll be able to refresh your knowledge of biology and chemistry and fill in any blanks before starting university. This will be especially useful if you’re planning to join any animal, human, or pharmacy-related degrees.

There are many skills that can give you an advantage when moving into higher education. You’ll learn crucial techniques to help with motivation, your working memory, and even creating an optimal study environment.

The skills that you’ll gain on this course mean that, when they start your undergraduate science degree, you’ll already be in a better position to cope with the academic demands of a University-level science course.

This course is being led by the University of Nottingham Vet School which has the experience of developing a very successful Virtual Work Experience for the University.
