Taylor's Graduate Capabilities

       

Today's world is challenging. In order to succeed, we need to be highly competitive. Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities (TGC) outlines the core knowledge, cognitive capabilities and soft skills that Taylorians will develop from the programme they study. The TGC gives students the EDGE TO START and STAY AHEAD. 

In my opinion, Biology is one of the subjects in Cambridge A Levels programme that help us to develop TGC. From BIOLOGY, we learn to discipline specific knowledge by carrying out different types of experiment in the lab to practice the theory that we studied in class. Besides, we do revision after every chapter in order to have a better understanding on the concepts and theories learned. Interpersonal skills are gained through the assignment and presentation that being given by the lecturers. We learn how to communicate and interact with our teammates during discussions as well as how to perform our thoughts to others. Our thinking and problem solving skills can be enhanced. For example, a new technique is being invented: heart transplant from cadaver. Apart from that, by doing research, we obtain lifelong learning. We can have some changes in diet after knowing which nutrition are essential for our health in order to lead a healthy lifestyle. Citizenship and global perspectives can be developed via becoming a medical volunteer and being up-to-date of the information of Ebola disease.
