BSc Natural Sciences (Integrated Sciences pathway)
UCAS Code CFG0
Integrated Sciences at the University of East Anglia
The University of East Anglia is offering the Integrated Sciences pathway as part of the newly launched BSc in Natural Sciences. If you choose this course, you will follow a carefully selected combination of physics, chemistry and mathematics units.
This research-led teaching programme ensures you will be taught at the cutting-edge of your subject, have the opportunity to undertake some original interdisciplinary scientific research, and develop excellent practical skills through laboratory work, workshops and field courses.
After your 3rd year, you can transfer to one of the other three partner universities to complete a 4-year MPhys degree, to spend a year abroad at a University in North America, Australasia, Europe, or take a professional placement in industry.
The BSc Natural Sciences is taught within the Faculty of Science at UEA, a strongly integrated and innovative cluster comprising Schools of Biological Sciences; Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy; Computing Sciences, Environmental Sciences; and Mathematics.
