Gain the benefits of studying across different scientific disciplines with the flexibility to shape your degree to your career aspirations.<br/><br/>This is the course for you if you love science and want to study more than one science subject at university.<br/><br/>You will choose your own pathway to suit your interests and strengths. You’ll be able to take your existing scientific skills further, explore new areas and apply what you’ve learnt in practical and relevant ways.<br/><br/>Employers will value your ability to bring problem-solving skills from a variety of different angles. You’ll graduate with the breadth of knowledge and practical skills to prepare you for a career in industry or for postgraduate research.<br/><br/>If you decide your interests fit better within a single science, you may be able to transfer to biology, biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology or physics after year one.<br/><br/>Pathways<br/>When you start your course, you can shape your degree to your interests by choosing a combination of two subjects based on your previous qualifications. The pathway will be a combination of two of the following subjects:<br/>Chemistry<br/>Physics<br/>Biology or Biochemistry<br/>Pharmacology<br/>Environmental Science<br/>Your two main subjects will be complemented by other subjects, including maths, management, psychology and education.<br/><br/>You will follow your own path, developing lab skills and an understanding of the interdisciplinary relationship between the core sciences.<br/><br/>This course code includes either Study Abroad or a Professional Placement.<br/><br/>If you want a more in-depth study experience, you could consider applying for the MSci Natural Sciences with Study Abroad or a Professional Placement.

Access to HE Diploma
D:39,M:3
Typical offer: A pass in the Access to HE Diploma (in Science or in Science and Engineering) with at least 39 credits achieved at Distinction and at least a further 3 credits achieved at Merit or Distinction. We are able to consider the Access to HE Diploma for entry. You will typically need to have studied units worth 12 credits at Distinction each in two core sciences (Biology, Chemistry or Physics). If you study Physics as a core science you will also need a further 12 credits at Distinction in Mathematics units. You can be considered with just Chemistry and Mathematics, providing you have 12 credits at distinction each. If you wish to take Chemistry options on our course you must be studying both Organic and Inorganic Chemistry units.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
36
Typical offer: 36 points overall and 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including one of the following combinations: - Biology and Chemistry - Chemistry and either HL Mathematics - Biology, Physics and either HL Mathematics - Chemistry, Physics and either HL Mathematics. Contextual offer: 36 points overall and 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including grades in each HL subject from one of the following combinations: -6 in HL Biology and 6 in HL Chemistry -6 in HL Chemistry and 6 in either HL Mathematics -5 in HL Biology, 6 in HL Physics and 6 in either HL Mathematics -5 in HL Chemistry, 6 in HL Physics and 6 in either HL Mathematics We have a strong preference for applicants who study the required subjects at Higher Level. We may be able to consider you if you are studying one of Biology, Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches or Physics at Standard level (usually at grade 7) alongside your other required subject(s) at Higher Level. We do not accept Sports, Exercise and Health Science in place of Biology for this course.
Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)
D*DD
Typical offer: D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) in Applied Science PLUS grade A in A level Mathematics. We are only able to consider the above qualifications in Applied Science alongside an A level in Mathematics. Your BTEC qualification must include an appropriate combination of Chemistry, Biology and Physics content to prepare you for the course.
Scottish Advanced Higher
A,A
A,A,A
AA or AAA in Advanced Highers Our typical offer depends on the subjects you are studying in your Advanced Highers. If you are not studying an Advanced Higher in Physics: AA in two Advanced Highers including Chemistry and either Biology or Mathematics. If you are studying an Advanced Higher in Physics: AAA in three Advanced Highers including Mathematics, Physics and either Biology or Chemistry. We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved at least AAAAB in their Highers.
AQA Level 3 Technical Level (1080 glh)
Not Accepted
A level
A*,A,A
Typical offer: A*AA in three A levels including one of the following combinations of subjects: - Biology and Chemistry - Chemistry and Mathematics - Biology, Mathematics and Physics - Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Which subjects you have studied at A level will determine which subjects you can choose to study during your degree. If you study A Level Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics you will be able to choose any of the valid combinations. Contextual offer: AAB in three A levels including A in each subject from one of the following combinations: - A in Biology and A in Chemistry - A in Chemistry and A in Mathematics - B in Biology, A in Mathematics and A in Physics - B in Chemistry, A in Mathematics and A in Physics. If you study at least one valid combination requiring Physics you will only be considered for the Physics combinations. If you study Biology and do not study Physics you will only be considered for the Biology and Chemistry combination. Alternative offer: AAA or A*AB in three A levels plus additional study - please see the course pages on our website. All offers include A in each subject from one of the following combinations: - Biology and Chemistry - Chemistry and Mathematics - Biology, Mathematics and
