Higher Education Certificate for Physical Sciences is intended for students who will pursue Computing and Technology, Statistics, Biomedical Engineering and Science Education.

FM1 HECP 1101: FOUNDATIONAL MATHEMATICS I

FM1 HECP 1101: FOUNDATIONAL MATHEMATICS I

This course will give students an understanding of aspects of Mathematics that are needed in a wide range of applications. The course is designed to allow students to develop competence in a range of mathematical and statistical techniques, which they can then apply within a range of scientific contexts. The module reinforces basic mathematical concepts and is accessible to students with a wide range of previous mathematical experiences. The structure and programme of delivery is specifically designed to support the other courses within the Higher Education Certificate programme and beyond.

FP1 HECP 1102: FOUNDATION PHYSICS I

FP1 HECP 1102: FOUNDATION PHYSICS I

This course will provide students with an in-depth introduction to Newtonian Mechanics and properties of matter. The course will be delivered through a combination of theoretical lectures, problem-solving tutorials and laboratory-based practicals. Laboratory sessions are expected to reinforce theory and instill sound laboratory practices. Practicals should enable students to increase their competence in numeracy, ICT, communication, teamwork and independent learning skills.

GC HECP 1104: GET CONNECTED

This course will be taught based on a blended content to introduce students to digital world. The digital world is upon us both personally and professionally. Students will be taught to have a better understanding of the Internet, computers and social media which will be a big help toward acquiring digital skills. With these skills students will more opportunities and possibilities opened for them individually as far as career advancement. Areas to be considered will not be limited to using a computer, connect devices and access search, email, and social media. This course content is very user friendly and interactive with lots of illustrations. No previous knowledge is needed for this introductory course.

NB HECP 1105: NETWORK BASICS (Online)

NB HECP 1105: NETWORK BASICS (Online)

This course introduces students to a blended learning. Networking is the major concepts that gets devices connected. Although often unseen, it enables user to stay connected on any given network as they move around freely using our laptop or smartphone. This course teaches the basic networking concepts and the skills that you can put to use right away. Its underlying principles will help students to set-up a SOHO (small-office / home-office) networks and put students on the path to managing a larger-scale business network.

FM2 HECP 1201: FOUNDATION MATHEMATICS II

This second foundation course in Mathematics consists of two parts: an introduction to multivariate calculus and an introduction to statistics. The mathematical part develops the mathematical skills required for mathematical modelling of systems involving more than one independent variable. The statistics part is an introduction to descriptive statistics, probability and statistical inference. The course places strong emphasis on developing a clear theoretical understanding of various analytical tools as well as an appreciation of the application of mathematics and statistics to different contexts. These skills and competencies provide a foundation for professional practice and for further study in the many different undergraduate fields.

FP2 HECP 1202: FOUNDATION PHYSICS II

This course will provide students with an in-depth introduction to electromagnetism, atomic and nuclear physics as well as an introduction to optical physics. The course will be delivered through a combination of theoretical lectures, problem-solving tutorials and laboratory-based practicals. Laboratory sessions are expected to reinforce theory and instill sound laboratory practices. Practicals should enable students to increase their competence in numeracy, ICT, communication, teamwork and independent learning skills.

LSE HECB 1204: LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION

LSE HECB 1204: LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION

The host of factors that promote high-risk behaviour such as alcoholism, drug abuse, and casual relationships are boredom, rebellion, disorientation, peer pressure and curiosity. The psychological push factors such as the inability to tackle emotional pain, conflicts, frustrations, and anxieties about the future are often the driving force for high risk behaviour. Life skills training is an efficacious tool for empowering the youth to act responsibly, take initiative and take control. It is based on the assumption that when young people are able to rise above emotional impasses arising from daily conflicts, entangled relationships, and peer pressure, they are less likely to resort to anti-social or high-risk behaviours.
