**Course Information**<br/><br/>Our prestigious Natural Sciences course is designed for talented students who want to study a variety of sciences at degree level.<br/><br/>Alongside our core modules, each student follows their own curiosity which draws from across the scientific disciplines. You will typically centre your undergraduate studies around one subject, your Major, which will serve as your specialism.<br/><br/>This is then complemented with one or two different subjects to give you an original portfolio of expertise.<br/><br/>At the end of your degree you will have the option to graduate with a BSc Natural Sciences degree with or without a major specialism, subject to your portfolio of modules.<br/><br/>Applications should be made to our Natural Sciences course.<br/><br/>As a Natural Sciences student, you will be part of a vibrant and diverse community that welcomes and celebrates differences. There are many opportunities to help shape the programme, such as participating in student-leadership groups, our themed Natural Sciences community meetings, and our curriculum development group.
