Engineering, Computing & Science

Pure Maths

In this module students will study topics that will be important for progressing onto an engineering degree course. They will spend a little time making sure their algebra and trigonometry skills are sound before moving on to calculus topics. They will conclude with statistics and probability.

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.

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 university. Our Academic English programme is validated by UK ENIC, the UK government agency responsible for providing information and expert opinion on qualifications and skills worldwide.

You will develop awareness and competency in a range of language-related academic skills, including the processes 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. You will also develop the accuracy and range of written and spoken language required to use language effectively and appropriately, with clarity and confidence in an academic context.

Alongside your classes, your studies will be supported by an online learning platform, providing you with a range of tasks and activities specifically designed to develop and extend your language and academic skills outside the classroom and to give you more control over your own learning.

Physics

This module will encourage students to develop the 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 contextualised way with applied examples given during the module to help and prepare them for the specific demands of their chosen degree.

Applied Maths 2

In this module, students will focus on topics and methods applicable to first year degree Engineering Mathematics. Most of the students taking this module will have decided to study an Electrical, Mechanical, Computing (Science) or Computer Systems Engineering degree and the examples they will be given during the module will help prepare them for the specific demands of this type of programme. Module topics consist of the following: circular motion, centripetal force, rotational kinematics, torque, rotational dynamics, simple harmonic motion, gravitational and electric fields and Young’s Modulus.

Personal Learning and Critical Thinking Skills (PLTS)

The aim of the module is to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving six transferable skills that enable students to cope with change and to learn effectively; skills that will help them to be effective in many different work and life situations. Furthermore, these are skills that employers and those in further education want to see developed. Employers worldwide are demanding more than just a degree – they want employees with additional winning skills.

Computing

This module is designed to provide a start to students in web development and design. As internet users, we typically access websites to seek information for a variety of reasons: education, business or entertainment. Have we as users ever wondered how websites are built and what are the skills needed to build them? This module is designed to provide students the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of web development and web design. Specifically, students will learn 3 languages that are used to create websites: Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) for building website structure; Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) for styling websites; and JavaScript for adding website interactivity.
