Exciting new Cambridge Pre-U developments for September 2011: Cambridge Pre-U Biology, Drama and Theatre, Mathematics Short Course.
We are investing in the development of many aspects of Cambridge Pre-U as demand from schools grows.
One strand is syllabus development. Schools want to extend the Cambridge Pre-U approach to more subjects, and we are integrating feedback from teachers into our range of syllabuses.
We have three new Cambridge Pre-U syllabuses for first teaching in September 2011:
Cambridge Pre-U Drama and Theatre
A new subject for Cambridge Pre-U - as schools requested.
Cambridge Pre-U Drama and Theatre provides an excellent foundation for studying drama and theatre at university level - combining academic rigour with significant credit for practical work.
It helps students to make a strong application for university study in other subjects, because of the combination of academic rigour and creative work.
Students can explore their interests in depth, with a free choice of dissertation.
It helps students develop a wide perspective on world theatre.
Cambridge Pre-U Biology
Cambridge Pre-U Biology offers learners an ideal foundation for university-level studies. We have developed and revised the course with schools ad universities.
We have refocused the content and approach after feedback from schools that wanted to be confident their students had time to cover all the course material in two years.
Cambridge Pre-U Biology now combines four underlying themes for studying biology.
Teachers can use all four underlying themes to unify their teaching or select from the four: cell biology, Evolution and the fundamentals of life, whole organisms biology, environmental biology.
Encourages learners to develop their problem solving, handling information, practical, experimental and investigative skills.
Cambridge Pre-U Biology helps teachers create a motivating and engaging mosaic of different learning experiences and teaching approaches --- context-based and learner-centred, or content-based, teacher-led approach; or a combination of the two approaches.
Cambridge Pre-U Mathematics (Pure Mathematics and Statistics) Short course
Understanding mathematical concepts is vital for success on many degree courses as well as mathematics, physics ad engineering.
That's why we have consulted closely with teachers and universities about a new mathematics course --- to support students studying other subjects, such as biology, chemistry, economics, geography and business.
It will help students applying for university --- by showing they can deal confidently with the mathematical concepts that complement their chosen degree course.
The qualification is designed for one year's study and Ofqaul has just accredited it. We will publish the syllabus very soon.
