About this course
BSc (Hons) in Natural Sciences, a degree in which students study at least one science alongside further subjects from across the sciences and related disciplines. Two routes are offered: Joint Honours degrees, in which two named subjects are studied throughout, and the BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences degree, which permits combinations of two or three subjects, or starting a new subject in the second year. Students on either route may transfer to the 'with Year Abroad' or 'with Placement' pathway after Year 2, extending the course from three years to four.
