Academic English Skills

Academic English Skills aims to provide thorough training in the language and related academic skills which will enable international students to best achieve their academic potential at The University of Huddersfield.

The specific aims are:

• To develop awareness and competency in a range of language-related skills required for successful study at Higher Education level. These include the processes and conventions of academic writing, effective and extensive reading strategies, effective participation in seminars and delivery of presentations, and listening to and recording information effectively from lectures.
• To develop the accuracy and range of written and spoken language so as to enable students to use language effectively and appropriately, with clarity and confidence.
• To support students in reflecting on their learning and identifying how to improve their skills and language.

To ensure students are able to meet the requirements of the UKVI and The University of Huddersfield through demonstrating an English language level of CEFR B2 in the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Applied Maths 1

In this module students will focus on basic topics such as Vectors, Velocity and Acceleration, Force and Newton’s Laws, Friction, Work, Energy and Power, Projectiles, Moments and Centre of Gravity. As students taking this module have decided to study Engineering, Science or Computer Science degree the subject will be taught in a contextualized way with applied examples given during the module to help and prepare them for the specific demands of their chosen degree.

Pure Maths

In this module students will focus on basic topics and methods in Numerical Techniques, Algebra, Calculus, Statistics and Probability with a view to strengthening their background knowledge and improving their skills in handling and presenting data. The skills students will develop during the course will equip them with the skills needed to enable them to gather and analyse data, interpret and present findings.

Chemistry

By studying chemistry, learners will learn facts, specialist vocabulary, chemical principles, concepts, theories, models and the scientific method in order to apply them to issues that encompass ethical, social, economic, environmental, cultural, political and technological problems.  Throughout this module, learners will become familiar with the processes required to learn a scientific subject. Some of those processes include collecting evidence, explaining, theorising, validating, interpreting, synthesizing as well as planning to test an idea.

This module is designed to encourage learners to develop their interest and enthusiasm for the subject which may transcend to furthering the study of chemistry as well as give learners key transferable skills for industry.   Learners will have the opportunity to appreciate how society makes decisions about scientific issues, and how knowledge and understanding of chemistry contributes to the success of the economy as well as impacting on society.

Learners will develop and demonstrate a deeper understanding of the skills, knowledge and understanding of chemistry and how each specialist field relates to one another.

Global Skills for Success – Science

Global Skills for Success are essential skills for progression to further study and future careers. The content covers knowledge, understanding, skills and attributes relevant to both HE and employment. These are developed by students undertaking tasks relevant to their area of study, which encourage the development of appropriate transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research, and self-management. They will also develop cognitive and problem-solving skills, intrapersonal and interpersonal skills which will prepare them for their next step in life. This will be achieved by the students working in teams to complete a project relevant to their subject area. Each student must have a clearly distinguished role and produce their own individual evidence as part of their contribution to a group project.

Physics

This module will encourage students to develop their interest in and enthusiasm for Physics and support further study of the subject. Students will appreciate how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society. They will also develop and demonstrate a deeper appreciation of the skills, knowledge and understanding of Physics and develop essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other. As students taking this module have decided to study an Engineering, Science or Computer Science degree the subject will be taught in a contextualized way with applied examples given during the module to help and prepare them for the specific demands of their chosen degree.
