English for Academic Purposes
Maths
This NCUK module is closely integrated with your subject modules to help you build good practice in academic work.
The overall aim of this course is to equip students with the mathematical knowledge and skills necessary for entry to the first year of any UK/Western undergraduate degree course.
Module aims: • Achieve the English language and academic skills required by UK university programmes. • Take responsibility for own learning • Introduce the planning and organisation skills to develop as independent, autonomous learners. Key areas covered in the syllabus: • Listening – understanding, note taking, summarising • Reading – annotation of text, paraphrasing, summarising and commenting • Writing – pre-writing skills, subject specific essays, referencing
Physics Develop the skills, knowledge, understanding and enthusiasm in physics appropriate for entry to a degree course at undergraduate level in the UK. Module aims: • Work on skills of investigation through practical experience and tutorial-based learning. • Describe, explain and interpret phenomena and effects covered in the syllabus in terms of physical principles and concepts. • Present and interpret data as text or in tables, diagrams and graphs in appropriate and correct English. • Plan experimental activities, selecting appropriate techniques and carry out laboratory experiments safely. • Write clear and concise reports in appropriate scientific English, using text, tables and graphs. Key areas covered in the syllabus: • Mechanics
• Electricity
• Waves
• Materials
• Fields
• Atoms
Module aims: • To develop abilities to think logically, to recognise incorrect reasoning and to express ideas clearly. • To develop an enthusiasm for the subject and the skills required to apply the knowledge to both the further study and application of mathematics. • To develop an understanding of how theory and application work together and skills in modelling and the interpretation of results. Key areas covered in the syllabus: • Linear and quadratic equations
• Trigonometry
• Simple probability
• Functions
• Binomial expansions, sequences and series
• Vectors
• Calculus
Further Maths Progress key knowledge, understanding, skills and application of further mathematics appropriate for entry to a degree course at undergraduate level in the UK. Module aims: • Enhance further skills in algebra and link these with curve sketching where possible. • To demonstrate more advanced skills in complex numbers, matrices, vectors, hyperbolic functions and geometry (conics). • To develop differentiation and integration techniques and to apply these to differential equations. • Recognise, recall and apply specific mathematical facts, principles and techniques and employ them in relevant and correct settings. • Write mathematically-based reports that deliver both a cogent argument and a neat and well organised presentation style. Key areas covered in the syllabus: • Complex numbers
• Mechanics
• Matrices
• Hyperbolic functions
• Roots and coefficients of polynomials
• Confidence Intervals
