This new degree program has been designed specifically to provide you with an opportunity to widen your range of skills in a broad range of science specialism’s. You will gain and develop practical skills beyond those that are normally available within a first degree and will be required to engage in a large scale laboratory or fieldwork research project. You will produce a final piece of work that is publishable and/or presentable at a scientific meeting. Students completing the course should therefore have the confidence that they can demonstrate achievement, independent thinking and laboratory / fieldwork skills to a prospective employer.
