Objectives
In response to the ever-increasing demand for graduates with expertise in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary science, The University of Nottingham is introducing a Natural Sciences degree programme for 2009 entry with UCAS applications being received from 2008 onwards. The degree offers a challenging and diverse blend of science subjects that will appeal to talented students who wish to keep their career options open. Subject material is drawn from the five major research Schools of Biology, Biosciences (plant science, biotechnology, and environmental science), Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics and Astronomy, and is chosen to provide graduates with a grounding in science that is ideally suited to meet the intellectual and practical scientific challenges of the 21st century. The Natural Sciences degree programme combines flexibility with breadth and allows you to pursue subjects that match your interests and aptitudes.

Course description
BSc Natural Sciences
Programme
Years one, two and three
You will take a combination of three subjects in year one, two or three subjects in year two, and two subjects in year three. Examples of possible year one and two subject combinations could be: Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics and Astronomy; Biology, Physics and Mathematics; or Biology, Biosciences and Chemistry.
Each subject consists of a group of modules that, when taken together, add up to the total number of credits (120) per year. The modules are drawn from those offered by the participating Schools.
