A joint Biochemical Society/FEBS Workshop
17—18 December 2012
Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, UK

Educating the next generation of molecular bioscience graduates has always been about ensuring students are equipped with appropriate key skills that enable them to flourish and succeed in their future careers. In this education workshop we aim through, lectures, demonstrations, group discussion and posters sessions, to share novel ideas and approaches with bioscience educators, to enhance the student experience and potentially improve their employment prospects. The workshop is being held in memory of E.J. Wood (1941-2008).

Topics:

  • Improving student engagement
  • The acquisition of key generic and scientific skills
  • Student assessment and feedback
  • Careers and improving employability
