Embark on the BSc Natural Sciences at the University of Exeter, a programme designed for intellectually curious students eager to explore the interconnectedness of scientific disciplines without predefined pathways. You will delve into the foundational philosophy and interdisciplinary research that underpins modern science, gaining hands-on experimental experience in the lab from your first year. This undergraduate degree provides a unique opportunity to engage with critical global issues such as climate change, food security, and urbanisation, fostering a holistic understanding of the natural world and the scientific approaches needed to address complex challenges.
This full-time, on-campus degree is studied over three years, beginning with compulsory modules in mathematics, computing, and experimental science. As you progress, you will have increasing freedom to select optional modules across physics, biology, and mathematics, tailoring your studies to your specific interests. Your second year includes an extended experimental project, while your final year features a significant research project and a group project, allowing you to contribute to current scientific endeavours. You will graduate with a comprehensive scientific skillset and the ability to conduct independent research, preparing you for diverse postgraduate study or careers in research, environmental science, or science communication.
