"Access students will meet many other students with similar interests which helps to create a strong identity and a supportive environment. The teaching methods reflect students' development and progress on the course. Whilst most of the work is lab based there are sessions in classrooms where students will be expected to give seminars, presentations, be involved in discussions, group work, practicals, experimentation, research and finally to formal examinations at the end of the year. Throughout the year, students learning experience will be complemented by a range of external visits and through valuable contributions from visiting speakers who are prominent in their field. Students' progress and development will be supported by a personal tutor providing guidance with their individual study requirements and help with applications for Degree courses. Students work will be continuously assessed through a variety of methods, which include; writing essays, giving oral presentations, and conducting independent research and examinations. All students will study core units within Study Skills, including Communications, Information Technology and Management of Learning. Students will also study units in: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics."
