The only text to focus on study and communication skills specifically for bioscience students, helping them get the most out of their degree, and develop the skills and experience that will make them more employable after graduation. Written in an encouraging manner using biological examples, this book assists students as they transition to university studies and progress to employment. Readers are guided towards a greater understanding of what they need to do to make the most of resources available, how to approach assessment in a way that recognizes what they need to achieve, and how to reflect on their progress to maximize employability. Key features: Written by two award winning bioscience teachers and a career development specialist with a background in bioscience to offer expert guidance throughout. A particular emphasis on foundational skills that really make a difference to students: 'managing your time well', 'thinking critically', and 'developing yourself'.
