Do you want to achieve the highest grades possible throughout your University career? Do you want to develop key transferable skills that will help you to secure your dream job, and allow you to thrive in the workplace? If the answer to these questions is yes then this module is for you. Designed to provide a key platform for your University studies, this module will equip you with the fundamental skills, tips, tricks and time-savers to maximise your chances of producing first-class assignments in all of your modules. For example, you will be coached in how to write-assignments to University standard (which can be quite different from the writing you may have experienced before). Through fun informal exercises in class, you will gain experience and confidence in delivering engaging pitches and verbal presentations. You will also learn how to navigate the University’s online systems to search for and access a wealth of cutting-edge scientific articles at the forefront of the discipline.

The course will equip you with a range of skills that will help you to successfully navigate your studies and “be the best that you be” at Bangor University and in your future career. For example, the course covers topics such as; a) “How to write scientific essays and reports at University-level”; b) “How to identify optimal scientific sources”; c) “How to present and reference your essays”; d) "How to develop and apply critical thinking skills in science; e) “How to think on your feet and deliver professional “impromptu” speeches”; f) “How to confidently deliver formal scientific talks and presentations”. Everything you do in this module is designed to help you achieve the best possible experience and grades in all the other modules you will study.
