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 flexible science degree spanning multiple subject areas. Core topics are not specified for this course. The degree lasts four years full-time and follows a similar structure to the BSc in the first three years before moving into advanced study. Two routes are available: MSci Joint Honours degrees in named subject pairs, and the MSci (Honours) in Natural Sciences, which allows students to self-build a degree from a range of subjects. Students can transfer onto the 'with Placement' pathway after Year 2 or 3, extending the course to five years.
