BSc (Hons) Natural Sciences
Many of the technical issues of sustainability in 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 multidisciplinary workplace and to contribute to a better life for all. * The course enables you to study your chosen areas of science at the depth of a single honours 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 you’d 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, you’ll 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 you’ll 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, you’ll find everything in place to help you gear your study towards boosting your employability. * You'll be taught by academics in specialist areas of science all educated to doctoral level in their subjects and involved in forward-thinking research. This ensures we keep our courses challenging, exciting and thought-provoking and helps prepare you well to start your own career in academic, industrial or commercial settings. Additional costs: Optional short field trips e.g. one day, are sometimes also arranged, especially if you choose to take the Environmental Science subject area modules. The costs of these field trips must be covered by students and vary dependent on the trip. Previous trip costs have ranged from £10 to £100 per student but are dependent on location.
