What you'll study

Study is structured around one of the five major programmes: Applied Physics, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics or Geosciences. The curriculum follows Faculty of Science requirements for a BSc degree and will include discipline-specific modules appropriate to the chosen major (for example core science subjects and practicals relevant to biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or geoscience).

Entry requirements

Applicants must meet UBD English proficiency standards plus academic minima. English requirement: at least Credit C6 in GCE O Level English; or Grade B in IGCSE English (as a Second Language); or IELTS 6.0; or TOEFL overall 550; or pass the UBD Bridging English Course or Band B2 in the UBD English Proficiency Test.

• International Baccalaureate: minimum 24 points with at least five points in each of two relevant Science subjects at Higher Level.
• Higher National Diploma (HND): minimum five merits in science-related core modules (excluding Communication skills) and at least Grade C in Mathematics at GCE O Level.
• UniBridge: completion of the UniBridge programme including the module "Sciences for University Study".
• Applicants with prior work experience: at least five years' work experience plus at least one A-level in a relevant science OR five merits/distinctions in HND or equivalent.

Meeting the stated requirements does not guarantee admission.

Career prospects

Graduates progress into careers related to their chosen major: biological sciences, chemistry, physics, mathematics or geosciences roles in industry, research, government or education. Career planning and employer engagement are supported through university services, but specific job outcomes depend on the major, further qualifications and experience.
