Course Overview

Many of the technical issues of sustainability in the energy and material resources, advances in technology and medicine, that are now faced by society are interdisciplinary. Our Natural Sciences BSC(Hons) degree offers the opportunity to study across the traditional discipline divides, preparing you for a multidisciplinary workplace and contributing to a better life for all. The course enables you to study your chosen areas of science at the depth of a single honors degree but also gives you the chance to explore a wide range of options during your studies. You could find yourself delving into medicinal chemistry or getting to grips with chemical engineering. Studying or developing an understanding of environmental science. The range of subjects on offer helps you to tailor your degree to the kind of job youd like to do after graduation. The flexibility of the course means that as your interests evolve so too can the subjects you study in your degree. Whichever options you choose, youll be able to get a grounding in the fundamentals of science while developing your logical reasoning and imaginative problem-solving skills in specialist research skills modules. In our labs, youll have the opportunity to learn using the kind of instruments used in industry. And with an optional work placement in the UK or abroad in Year 3, youll find everything in place to help you gear your study towards boosting your employability.
