| adam_text | The only study skills text written specifically for undergraduate
chemistry students by leading experts in science education.
‘This book is an excellent resource for any chemistry
undergraduate student.
PROFESSOR PAUL CULLIS, UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER
‘A friendly, easy-to-use, down-to-earth book.’
DR ELIZABETH PAGE, UNIVERSITY OF READING
‘A remarkably good guide for students coming to study
in higher education.’
LILLA GOMBOS, STUDENT AT QUEEN MARY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
‘1 would highly recommend Study and Communication
Skills for the Chemical Sciences to any first year
chemistry student.’
MICHAEL LI, STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
This invaluable study guide has been carefully designed to help you
make the challenging transition from school to university, make the
most of your studies, and ultimately use your chemistry degree to
enhance your employment prospects. Written in an accessible and
friendly style, the authors have used chemical examples throughout
to show how the skills being discussed are directly relevant to your
degree programme.
A comprehensive range of skills are covered—from making the most
of practicáis, lectures, and group work; to writing and presentation
skills; to revising effectively for exams—making it the essential
companion to your undergraduate chemistry degree.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
The final chapter, Making Yourself Employable, has been
significantly expanded to include new topics such as year in
industry placements, CV and cover letter writing, and interviews.
More information on working in groups has been added to further
help you develop this essential skill.
