MSci in Natural Sciences (Biology and Chemistry)

In Year 1, the student (named below) took Mathematics (which requires at least an AS-level in Further Mathematics (or equivalent) which would have given them progression into Level 2 Mathematics. Note that it wasn’t luck that Core A Mathematics timetabled in Year 1, because this Mathematics module is a requirement for students taking Biology and Physics or Chemistry and Physics. In Year 2, they majored in Chemistry to facilitate an all final 4th year in Chemistry. An all final year in Biology on the MSci is not possible as it is only possible to take Biology through to Level 4 by combining it with with Chemistry or Physics..

Career Trajectory: Hannah Britt graduated in June 2014 and went on to do a Ph.D. in Durham, here is a link to one of her research papers written less than 2 years after graduation.

General disclaimer:

• Some of the modules above may have changed their names and codes since this students took this module combination. However, the combination flavour of the modules is still possible.
• The timetable changes each year and we only guarantee that the Joint-Honours routes have one set modules that work. However, certain module combinations in Year 1 of three subjects can work - these modules are shown at the bottom of each Joint-Honours page.
• In some examples the student might not meet the prerequisite for a module (in which case a concession would have been given based on the student doing extra work or meeting the prequisite from another module) or the student might not meet the programme regulations in which case a concession might have been given.
