This module provides learners with the scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary to understand and explore various advanced scientific disciplines at university. Covering topics such as physics, chemistry, and earth sciences, the programme offers a balanced approach to both theoretical and experimental science. Learners will engage in practical applications of the scientific method and use their newly found abilities to assess data and form well-supported conclusions. A part of this module focusses on laboratory ethics and the correct use of laboratory equipment for various experiments and projects. This foundation paves the way for further studies in specialized fields such as physics, chemistry, environmental science, or engineering, opening career paths in research, technology, education, and environmental management.
