About this course
By combining expertise from multiple sciences, 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.
We offer nine subject areas:
- 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 these subjects during your first year. You'll study two subjects to degree level from your second year.
By combining multiple sciences, you will benefit from a truly interdisciplinary degree. The flexibility to study different subjects, enables you to tailor the BSc to your interests. You can continue to study familiar subjects alongside some you may not have studied before.
You will learn through a combination of lectures, tutorials, problem classes and seminars. Gain hands-on experience conducting experiments in our modern laboratories and computing facilities. You will graduate with transferable skills that employers look for. These include critical thinking, problem solving, team work and communication.
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 (providing you meet any additional progression requirements)
- Year-long industry placement
- Year in Computer Science to gain programming skills
Modules
Subjects which can be studied on the natural sciences degree are: archaeology, biological sciences, chemistry, environmental science, geography, mathematics, physics and psychology. During your first year you study equal weightings of your three subjects taking a combination of lectures, practicals and tutorials. As your studies focus down to two subjects in the second and third year you continue to study equal weightings with greater opportunity to specialise through optional modules.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
