MSci Natural Sciences

Natural Sciences (NST) offers a wide range of physical and biological science subjects from 16 departments in a unique and demanding course. A broad first year is combined with increasing specialisation in the second year and the possibility of total specialisation in the third year. Each subject approaches teaching in different ways but a combination of lectures, practical classes (where relevant), example classes, supervisions and seminars provides core subject knowledge and develops their transferable skills. Assessment varies depending on the option taken but always includes written examinations. There may also be practical examinations or continuous assessment of practical work.
