Module overview

In this 2-semester module, you will engage with core skills for mathematics students, namely mathematical skills, and employability and digital skills. Core Maths Skill Tests. We have set up two Core Maths Skills Tests, one per semester. The tests will make sure you have the necessary mathematical skills right from the beginning of your study (Semester 1) and as your study progresses (Semester 2). They are e-assessment tests that can be taken repeatedly until passed and with lots of support available. Employability and Digital Skills. We have sessions on different employability and digital skills that will help you prepare for the job market and improve your chances to land your dream job. These sessions are designed to maximise your digital literacy and your employment prospects during and after your degree.
