Teaching Organisation Teaching methods include lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops and computer- assisted learning. The teaching methods reflect respect for the individual as an independent learner. Students will be encouraged to take responsibility for their learning and to participate actively within the group.

This core applied science unit introduces students to the principles of anatomy, physiology, microbiology and physical sciences relevant to their current nursing studies. The relationship between anatomical structure and physiological function, and physical observations in health are identified. A study of micro-organisms and their role in health and disease leads to an understanding of basic aseptic techniques and infection control.
