BSc Degrees The BSc Natural Sciences degree provides a wide choice of subjects to study. These subjects are divided into three groups: Group 1 Biology Chemistry Computer Science Earth Sciences Mathematics Physics Psychology. At least half of your studies in the second and third years in Natural Sciences must be from the subjects listed in Group 1. Not all subjects can be taken together. Group 2 Anthropology Business Economics Geography Philosophy. No more than half of your studies in the second and third years can be from subjects in Group 2. Each of these subjects contributes to at least one Joint Honours degree with the subjects from Group 1. Group 3 These subjects are Sport and Education (excluding History of Art) and are based in Durham City. None of the subjects in Group 3 contribute to a Joint Honours degree in Natural Sciences (and so no combination with...

Course programme

Year 1

You must study at least two subjects, but no more than four, which give you a good progression into your second year subjects. You can specialise by taking up to four modules in one subject.

For instance, students who want to do the BSc Joint Honours degree in:
  • Biology and Chemistry must do four core modules, which leaves them free to choose any two optional modules from any subject
  • Economics and Mathematics must do five core modules from these subjects leaving them one free module from any subject.

To find out the number of core modules for each subject you are advised to look at the Natural Sciences webpages.

BSc Natural Sciences students often take two modules from three subjects, although other combinations are possible, but this combination would normally allow progression with any or all three of these subjects. The design of the programme is constrained by the entry requirements and limits of the University’s academic timetable which is published five months before the start of the academic year.

Year 2

You must study at least two subjects, but no more than three, which gives you reasonable progression into your third-year subjects. You can specialise by taking up to four modules in one subject.

For instance, students following the BSc Joint Honours degree in:
  • Mathematics and Physics must do the five core modules leaving them free to choose any other module from these subjects
  • Biology and Psychology must do the five core modules leaving them one free module from these subjects.

Students who are taking the BSc in Natural Sciences have considerable freedom, which is only limited by progression and the academic timetable. They must build on one or two subjects studied in their first year, but also have the option of starting a new subject by taking some first-year modules in their second year.

Year 3

You must study at least two subjects, but no more than three. You can specialise by taking up to five modules in one subject. Students may also take second-year modules during this year.

For example, students following the BSc Joint Honours degree in:
  • Chemistry and Earth Sciences must do two core modules in Chemistry and at least two modules from Earth Sciences with the remaining modules from these subjects, which could be none or two
  • Business and Computer Science must do at least two modules from each subject with the remaining modules from these subjects.

Students taking the BSc in Natural Sciences have continued freedom and are required to take a capstone module. They combine modules in subjects already studied to a higher level. The main subjects studied will be listed on the degree certificate having studied at least % science-subjects in years two and three.
