Natural Sciences, BSc (Hons)

The BSc in Natural Sciences offers a flexible and rigorous programme for students with diverse interests in science and related fields. This degree allows you to build on existing knowledge while exploring new subjects, fostering a broad range of skills applicable to various industries and postgraduate opportunities. Two pathways are available: the BSc Joint Honours, which focuses on two subjects throughout the programme, and the BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences, providing greater flexibility to combine subjects or introduce new ones in later years. Both routes permit extensions for a year abroad or placement after the second year.Subjects are categorised into three groups, with Group 1 (including Biology, Chemistry, and others) requiring at least half of your advanced studies. In the first year, you can study two to four subjects, typically including core modules from the Faculty of Science. Assessment combines examinations with practical elements, emphasising critical thinking and real-world application, particularly in the final year where independent projects are key.
