What is Natural Sciences?

Coming to university does not necessarily mean specialising in one subject. A Natural Sciences degree will allow you to maintain an interest in two or three scientific disciplines where you will learn and integrate knowledge from a range of subjects. You will take the same modules as the single honours students and be taught to the same depth of understanding. What differentiates our Natural Sciences programme from other universities is the wide choice of subject pathways and flexibility.

What do we mean by pathways?

A pathway is a defined selection of modules taken from a range of degree programmes, e.g. Biology, Engineering, Geography, and we organise them into dedicated science and technology ‘groupings’. We ask you to choose three pathways in your first year of study. Before choosing your pathways it’s useful to understand that the complexity of some pathways mean they are double or triple weighted which means they count as two or three.
