**Understanding Natural Sciences** Natural sciences allows you to study a combination of sciences, helping you to understand where you may want to specialise. By combining expertise from multiple subjects, you can help find solutions to 'big-world' problems. You'll learn from scientists who are working together to address global challenges such as climate change, sustainable food and healthcare. **Course structure** This integrated masters enables you to study a interdisciplinary degree for the first three years and then specialise more in the final year to study natural sciences at a more advanced level. Choose from the following multiple subject combinations: Archaeology Biology Cancer Sciences Chemistry Ecosystems and Environment Earth Science Mathematics Physics Psychology You'll choose from one of twenty-two streams combining three of the subjects during your first year. You'll study two subjects to degree level from your second year. The flexibility to study different subjects, enables you to tailor the MSci to your interests. You can continue to study familiar subjects alongside some you may not have studied before. **Research experience** The final year involves you spending half of the year working on an in-depth research project in an area of your choice. Supported by teaching staff, the project provides an excellent opportunity to consolidate your learning from earlier years. The project topic can be within your specific scientific subject or more interdisciplinary, combining elements of all the subjects you've studied. It will help you to develop the skills needed, especially if you are considering a career in research and development. You will also take taught modules, allowing you to explore some topics in more depth. **Flexibility** Throughout your degree you can choose from a range of additional options. You can apply to do these when you get here. - Switch between the BSc and MSci within the first two years - Year-long industry placement - Year in Computer Science to gain programming skills **Careers** You will graduate with transferable skills that employers look for. Alongside in-depth subject knowledge you'll be trained in critical thinking, problem solving, team work and communication. Many of our graduates pursue roles in scientific sectors such as energy, conservation and pharmaceuticals. Others continue with their studies by doing a masters or PhD.

During your first year, you will study modules from each of your three chosen subjects. You'll study 40 credits from each subject, made up of core and optional modules. This includes the compulsory Academic and Transferable Skills Portfolio. This is designed to help you to settle in to university life and develop skills that will be useful for your future studies. In the second year, you will chose two of your first-year subjects and continue to study them in greater depth. Some subjects allow you to specialise further through optional modules. This allows you to tailor the programme to your interests. There's more focus on developing your practical skills through fieldwork, computing and laboratory classes. During your third year, you'll study your two chosen subjects at a more advanced level. Optional modules will enable you to explore your own interests. You will become more self-reliant and proactive in your study approach. A highlight of this year is the synoptic project. This requires you to work on a group project with students from other streams. You will bring your individual expertise to the project and find new ways to apply the theories and approaches you have learnt in previous years. Your fourth year will combine the research project with taught modules based on your specialised subjects.
