MSci Natural Sciences
Entry requirements
A level: A*AA All applicants taking A levels will need three A levels with at least one Science (Biology; Human Biology; Chemistry; Mathematics; Physics.) The standard offer is A*AA and you will need specific A level grades as follows: To study Biology, an A at A level is required in either Biology or Chemistry. To study Chemistry, A*A at A level is required in Chemistry and Mathematics (either way round). To study Computer Science, an A at A level is required in Mathematics. To study Mathematics, A*A at A level in Mathematics and Further Mathematics (either way round) is required, or A* in Mathematics and A at AS Further Mathematics for students unable to take A Level Further Mathematics. To study Physics, A*A at A level is required in Physics and Mathematics (either way round). IB: 37 All applicants taking the International Baccalaureate will need a score of 37 points overall including 766 at the Higher Level with at least one of these in a Science (Biology; Chemistry; Mathematics (maths analysis & approaches); Physics.) You will need specific Higher Level grades to study: Biology: 6 in either Biology or Chemistry. Chemistry: 76 in any order in Chemistry and Mathematics. Computer Science: 6 in Mathematics. Mathematics: 7 in Mathematics. Physics: 76 in any order in Mathematics and Physics.
About this course
MSci (Hons) in Natural Sciences, a degree combining two or three subjects across different disciplines. The first three years mirror the BSc, followed by advanced modules and a research-led project. Two routes are available: MSci Joint Honours degrees (Biology and Chemistry, Chemistry and Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, Computer Science and Mathematics, Mathematics and Physics, Biology and Physics) and the MSci (Honours) in Natural Sciences, where students self-build their degree. A 'with Placement' pathway can be entered after Year 2 or 3, extending it to five years.
