**Explaining Natural Sciences**<br/>Natural sciences allows you to study a combination of science subjects getting to experience these at university before specialising later in the degree. Youll choose a combination of three subjects (called a stream) in your first year and study two subjects during the second, third and fourth year. The MSci degree adds a further year of advanced study focusing on one subject in your final year. This is designed to enhance your research, analytical and project management skills.<br/><br/>**Study abroad**<br/>The MSci with International Study is a five year degree where you spend your third year studying at one of our partner institutions overseas in places like Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, North America or Europe. An international year has many employability benefits that will help you in your career.<br/><br/>**Subjects available**<br/>Our course offers the flexibility to focus on what interests you. You can continue to study familiar subjects but can also study subjects you may not have studied before.<br/><br/>You can choose multiple subject combinations from:<br/>- Archaeology<br/><br/><br/>- Biology<br/><br/><br/>- Cancer Sciences<br/><br/><br/>- Chemistry<br/><br/><br/>- Earth Science<br/><br/><br/>- Ecosystem and Environment<br/><br/><br/>- Maths<br/><br/><br/>- Physics<br/><br/><br/>- Psychology<br/><br/><br/>**What you will study**<br/>A highlight of the course is the synoptic project where you work on a group project with students from other streams. You will bring your individual expertise to the project and find new ways to apply the knowledge from your learning in previous years.<br/><br/>**Careers**<br/>During the masters year you gain specialist experience in a professional research environment through an independent research project. This is good preparation for research job roles within industry, or if you are considering further study, such as a PhD. Youll also benefit from a global outlook, gained during your time spent abroad.
