This module will continue to develop students’ transferable skills and will build on the year 1 skills module. It will focus on improving the students’ written, communication, and employability skills. As this module is taken by students on all programmes, to allow students to explore their interests different essay titles, journal papers and discussion topics relevant to students programme area of interest will be offered. Students will complete four assessments which include an essay, a written critique of lay science communication, an individual report and group digital pitch, and a portfolio. The module is based on fortnightly small-group tutorials with an Academic Advisor. Each tutorial will have a topic that relates to a small task which students need to complete either before or after the tutorial. The topics will be introduced within plenary lectures. In addition to the plenary lectures relating to skills development and employability, students will also receive lectures and seminars relating to programme specific content. These lectures will form the basis for discussions in programme specific tutorials
