The study and practice of science has its own procedures and protocols as well as an oral, written and visual language. Students entering a scientific profession must be familiar with fundamental skills and knowledge so they can communicate and excel in the sciences. This subject is designed to begin that foundation. It introduces you to health and safety issues, advanced computer and web skills, oral, written and visual communication. The subject will raise your awareness and knowledge of what is needed to work in the sciences, as well as teaching you practical skills that will support further study.
