Natural Sciences is a broad course that gives you the opportunity to study physical and biological sciences from 16 different departments.
The course is flexible, which means you can study a range of new and familiar areas in the sciences before choosing a subject, or two, to specialise in. During your first and second year you will study a variety of subjects, some of which may be completely new to you. You can change your mind about which subject to specialise in as you progress through the course. You can choose to study purely biological sciences, purely physical sciences or a combination of both.
If you discover a passion for a new subject, such as Earth Sciences or Materials Science, you will be able to continue with it after your first year. We use this information in the admissions process.
Your choice of application stream, and the courses that you are currently studying, will affect the types of questions that are asked at interview. This is because your interview will be on subjects that you have already studied.
On the course, you can take physical and biological science options. There are A levels requirements for some of the first year options. Check the requirements for Year One options. They are working on tackling some of the most important challenges of our times. The 16 departments that contribute to the Natural Sciences course have a variety of teaching and research facilities.
