Transferable skills are a range of practices which are valuable to the modern chemist but are not necessarily chemistry based. Such skills include communication ( e.g. for oral/poster presentations), research methods, writing for publication, IT skills and interacting with a non-technical or inexperienced scientific audience. This module will enable you to develop these important personal skills.
