BSc Hons Natural Sciences with International Study
Natural sciences allows you to study a combination of science subjects, getting to experience these at university before specialising later in the degree. You'll choose a combination of three subjects (called a stream) in your first year and study two subjects to degree level from your second year onwards.
You can continue to study familiar subjects but can also study subjects you may not have studied before such as archaeology, cancer sciences, earth science, the environment or psychology. Our course offers the flexibility to focus on what you are interested in, develop a wide range of knowledge and skills and understand how scientific disciplines fit together.
Find out more about the subjects you can study.
The BSc with International Study is a four-year degree where you spend your third year studying at one of our partner institutions overseas getting a broader perspective of the subjects that you study. You will develop key skills such as communication, confidence, language and independence. All of these are extremely sought after by employers.
You study modules from each of the subjects in their chosen stream gaining comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge. Collaborative modules in the second and third year, encourage you to understand theories and ideas from different areas of science and explore how they work together. A highlight of the course is the synoptic project where you work on a group project with students from other streams. You will bring your individual expertise to the project and find new ways to apply the knowledge from your learning in previous years.
You'll graduate with the knowledge and technical skills to take a broad scientific approach to help tackle today's complex problems. Our graduates use their knowledge to work for companies including Cancer Research, the National Nuclear Laboratory and Rolls-Royce. You'll also benefit from a global outlook, gained during your time spent abroad.
