Course Overview

The Natural Sciences Programmes offer distinctive cross-disciplinary subject combinations that would not be available within any single department, by exploiting a vast range of existing scientific learning opportunities.

Teaching and Learning

A variety of teaching methods are employed, including lecture classes, practical sessions, and small-group tutorials. Students will also be expected to spend a substantial amount of time on coursework and private study.

Assessment

Each module has its own intended learning outcomes, which are used to align the individual assessments. Examples of assessment include written examinations, oral examinations or presentations, podcast/video assessments, poster assessments, practical assignments, and reports.

Employability

On completion of the degree, students will be able to demonstrate coherent, detailed knowledge in two complementary scientific disciplines, apply accurately established techniques of analysis and enquiry, and describe and comment upon current scientific research and advanced scholarship.

Fees and Funding

Fees for this Course

• UK students: Ł9,535
• International students: Ł39,800

Additional Costs

Typically, there are not additional associated costs that students are likely to incur, although this may vary from stream to stream. There are field trips on the Earth and Environment and Geophysical Sciences streams, although all such modules are optional.

Funding Your Studies

Various funding options are available, including student loans, scholarships, and bursaries. UK students whose household income falls below a certain level may also be eligible for a non-repayable bursary or for certain scholarships.

Accreditation

The Natural Sciences BSc program is accredited by the Society for Natural Sciences, recognizing it as offering outstanding quality interdisciplinary science education.

Next Steps

Your Application

Application for admission should be made through UCAS. Applicants currently at school or college will be provided with advice on the process; however, applicants who have left school or who are based outside the United Kingdom may obtain information directly from UCAS.

Selection
