mathematics, including topics such as: calculus, vectors, matrices and complex numbers, proof, differential equations, mechanics and discrete mathematics.
Engineering and Sciences
• Pure Mathematics This module is designed to cover all the basic elements of pure mathematics. The curriculum includes topics such as: calculus, vectors,matrices and complex numbers, proof, differential equations, mechanics and discrete mathematics. Students will also take time to complete independent study both individually as well as group studies. By the end of the module, students will be competent in pure mathematics skills and have been equipped with an array of independent skills that they will find very useful in their future studies.
• Physical Sciences This module provides a good foundation of physical sciences knowledge but also the ability to develop independent learning skills which students will find useful in university studies.
During the course, students will cover a range of topics such as: explorations of the earth and its place in the universe; the physics of motion, energy and light; the atomic basis of matter and the fundamentals of chemistry.
• Skills for Science Progress in the sciences is made through scientific experimentation and interpretation of the results. In order to complete this accurately and safely it is important to understand experimental design and methodology and how to analyse results. This module aims to prepare students for laboratory work, develop data analysis skills and teach how to report and critique findings.
The module will also introduce regulation of scientific and medical research and medical ethics. By the end of the course students will be able to draw conclusions from data, organise facts and figures in a logical way, test hypotheses in logical ways to find answers, and see how a larger situations can be affected by smaller activities.
13
Art and Design
• Design Portfolio The aim of this module is to enable students to develop skills and understanding of the design process and skills involved. Students will be introduced to the design development cycle through specific project briefs and apply this through the creation of design projects. They will develop an understanding of the importance of using the appropriate methods to achieve your creative intentions. They will develop the necessary research and analysis, synthesis, and time management skills, as well as teamwork and organisational skills. Students will learn to communicate ideas and intentions professionally, through visual and verbal communication techniques, and encouraged to use independence of mind to develop, refine and communicate intentions, ideas and personal outcomes.
• Art and Design This module aims to enable students to develop understanding of how to communicate different meanings and messages, through the manipulation of formal elements in 2D, 3D or time-based media as a means of creating a range of imagery or artefacts for different purposes. The form that works of art and design take, and the media and techniques used to communicate meaning, will vary according to their specialisms (for example fashion, product design or architecture) This module will enable students to develop skills in the use of 2D and 3D materials and techniques and to apply these in their own independent work.
• Skills for Art and Design This module aims to broaden skills, knowledge and understanding of creative thinking in contemporary and historical art and design, in order to inform practice. Students will explore the work of others in terms of visual and textual language, analysing relevant characteristics, content and meaning in relation to their own creative practice. Students will be encouraged to consider alternative approaches, challenging conventions, asking questions and engaging in debate with peers and tutors. They will develop an understanding of historical and related contexts that will inform and inspire their own creative work and help to develop personal intentions in their chosen specialism.
Humanities, Law and Social Sciences
• Globalisation and Internationalisation This module is organised thematically and chronologically. The module starts with an introductory session on the discipline of international relations and how it was developed, and then it looks in more detail at political events and economic developments such as the rise of globalisation; the emergence and transformation of the nation-state; the main causes of social tensions, specifically, the module considers ethnic and religious conflict in fragmented societies; capitalism and uneven development.
In later sessions, the module looks in more detail at concepts and practices such as the concept of humanitarian intervention and its legality; the rise of a new type of war - virtual terrorism; the rise of China; environmental degradation; the political economy of oil; geopolitical tensions and nuclear proliferation.
• Human Interactions This module seeks to explain human interactions by combining study of a variety of academic disciplines such as, economics, sociology, psychology, media and the environment. This interdisciplinary module aims to introduce different theoretical perspectives and provides materials by which we can better understand the workings of human interactions.
Among the topics to be covered are income inequality, unemployment, economic growth, education and development, economic reforms, trade and FDI, urbanisation, environmental management and sustainability, media influences.
Economic topics will familiarise students with key developments in economic analysis mainly from a macroeconomics perspective and will also investigate the relations of some core economic topics (corruption and institutions) with sociology. The module will stimulate knowledge with some of the most up to date and crucial topics of the economic policy agenda, such as the effects of the recent global economic crisis and the associated reforms in the public sector.
• Skills for Humanities and Social Sciences This module aims to equip students with successful skills and strategies required within the Humanities, Law and Social Sciences programme. Academic study is not only associated with learning concepts and subject knowledge but involves developing many transferable skills ranging from academic and professional writing, critical thinking, referencing, editing proofreading, to making effective presentations and working independently and/or as part of a group, demonstrating initiative, self-organisation and time management.
Life Sciences
• Molecular Biology Molecular biology is the study of the molecular basis of biological activity and overlaps biology and chemistry. This course aims to develop knowledge and understanding of molecular biology through the key biomolecules involved in building and maintaining cells. It explores some applications of biology from the biochemistry that determines an individual, through how this is expressed and looks at the ways in which biochemistry of DNA and protein synthesis is applied in industry and research. It will enable students to recognise the value of molecular biology in personal life and in society at large and promote its responsible use.
• Biology and Biochemistry Living organisms are complex combinations of molecules, cells and organs all working in concert in order to successfully maintain that organism within its environment and to pass on genetic information to the next generation. By studying the different aspects of biology students will understand how each part of the whole works, how they are all interconnected and the impact on the whole when one part malfunctions. This module also studies the biochemistry of energy production and the pathways through which the energy is transferred in the biome and ways in which we seek to control the outcomes.
• Skills for Science Progress in the sciences is made through scientific experimentation and interpretation of the results. In order to complete this accurately and safely it is important to understand experimental design and methodology and how to analyse results. This module aims to prepare students for laboratory work, develop data analysis skills and teach how to report and critique findings.
The module will also introduce students to regulation of scientific and medical research and medical ethics. By the end of the course they should be able to draw conclusions from data, organise facts and figures in a logical way, test hypotheses in logical ways to find answers, and see how larger situations can be affected by smaller activities.

Great choice and flexibility
We have two goals for each of the students we serve: to prepare them to succeed no matter what they choose to study, and to help them determine — and transfer — to the school that is right for them.
As your students work on successfully completing their first, also known as freshman, year ONCAMPUS transfer advisers will help them with the next critical step – deciding which College or University is the right one for them. They will help students explore and understand their options, work with them on the application process and show them how to transfer the college credits they have earned.
Transferring between Colleges and Universities is a very common practice in the U.S. Students frequently start at one school and then ‘trade up’ to higher ranked and more prestigious institutions who then award their final degree.
Our students are taking full advantage of this already, with recent students transferring to top 100 US News & World-ranked schools such as Northeastern, SUNY Stony Brook, University of Miami-London and Drexel.
