Beskrivelse af sprogkursus

This course offers an insight into the breadth and scope of a Natural Sciences degree, providing a conceptual and methodological introduction to biology, chemistry and physics, and examining the questions which arise at the intersections of these fields. Students will gain awareness of the need to analyze complex systems at multiple levels in order to understand our world from a scientific perspective, and learn how to describe their work through scientific writing.

Students can choose to specialise in either biological or physical sciences.

Biological Sciences (or Life Sciences) focus on the study of life and living organisms, that is, micro-organisms, plants and animals, their life cycles, and how they function and adapt to the natural environment. This includes their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, and development. Subject areas which fall under this umbrella include biochemistry, zoology, anatomy, and evolutionary biology. Seminars for Biological Sciences may cover topics such as the biology of cells, genetic engineering, and evolution and behaviour.

Physical Science is concerned with non-living matter, that is, inanimate objects, forces and properties of the universe. There are four main branches of Physical Science – Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry and Earth Science – sometimes described as the disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature through the language of mathematics. Seminars for physical sciences may include topics such as special relativity and quantum physics, the shapes, structures and properties of molecules, and climate change and sustainable futures.

visa

Visa support

Vi kan ikke ansøge om visa på vejne af elever. Men skolen kan give dig alt den dokumentation du skal bruge når du ansøger om dit visa.

Hvis du studerer i Storbritannien i over 11 måneder, vil du modtage et referencenummer kaldet en bekræftelse af accept for studier (CAS), som du skal indsende til det britiske ambassade sammen med din almindelige Student Visa ansøgning. Studerende, der med succes har booket et sprogkursus og har betalt deres honorarer vil modtage en CAS fra TGA. Bemærk venligst, at den britiske lovgivning siger, at en CAS kun kan udstedes til studerende, der agter at følge engelske sprogstudier i over 11 måneder.

Hvis du studerer i Storbritannien i 11 måneder eller derunder, er du nødt til at ansøge om en særlig besøgende visa kaldes en Student besøgsvisa. Som besøgende, vil du ikke være i stand til at arbejde på deltid, mens de studerer. Hvis du planlægger at studere i Storbritannien i 11 måneder eller derunder, vil et brev om accept blive sendt til din hjemadresse med almindelig post uden omkostninger for dig.
