Natural Sciences is a challenging degree that allows you to study across all of the scientific disciplines to an advanced level. Our pathways let you customise your Masters degree to suit your interests and study overseas to explore a rich and exciting culture abroad.

If you are interested in studying more than one scientific subject to an advanced level and want the opportunity spend a year studying in another country, our Natural Sciences Study Abroad programme is ideal. The course allows you to combine up to three different subjects, while your year abroad allows you to experience a different culture and society at one of our partner universities. As you progress through the course you can maintain a breadth of study or choose to become more specialised. Either way, our Natural Sciences MSci degree is designed to challenge the brightest students who are highly motivated and prepared to apply themselves across multiple boundaries. You can choose pathways from ten subject areas that can be combined together to create a purpose built degree programme. The science subjects are:

Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Computing
Engineering
Environmental and Earth Sciences
Geography
Mathematics
Medical School
Physics
Psychology
Additionally, each pathway within these ten subject areas includes a wide selection of modules to choose from. This breadth of possibilities makes it difficult to summarise what the three year programme will look like, but the experience will be unique and tailored to your needs and goals.

About this course

Our Natural Sciences graduates benefit from the widest range of career opportunities. The flexibility of the programme means that you can transition into a career from any scientific discipline, whether it is in biology, chemistry, computing, engineering, mathematics, physics, or many more. With subject specific knowledge, specialist technical skills, and a range of valuable transferable skills, such as data handling, problem-solving, IT, project management and analysis, you can chart a course to a career in almost any industry. Graduating from this programme, you can honestly say the possibilities are endless.

Alternatively, graduating with a Masters will allow you to pursue a career in academia, research, development and teaching. However, you may wish to take this further and undertake PhD level study at Lancaster. As a Natural Sciences graduate, you would be in a strong position to move onto a single-track postgraduate degree, studying a specific subject such as chemistry or physics, at Masters or PhD level.

A Level A*AA-AAA

Required Subjects A level grade A in two sciences from the following; Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Environmental Science, Geography, Human Biology, Information Technology, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology.

Subject Specialisms There are a number of Study Pathways available in the Natural Sciences degree programme, some of which require specific subject prerequisites.

Course programme

Natural Sciences students create their own individual degree programme by combining modules taken from single honours programmes. For example a student combining the study of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry would take the following first year modules:

Year 1

Optional

    • Atoms and Molecules
    • Calculus
    • Chemical Reaction Kinetics
    • Classical Mechanics
    • Electric and Magnetic Fields
    • Further Calculus
    • Linear Algebra
    • Physical Foundations of Chemistry
    • Probability
    • Quantum Physics
    • Spectroscopy and Analytical Chemistry
    • Statistics
    • The Physical Universe
    • Thermal Properties of Matter
    • Thermodynamics of Chemical Processes

This would lead on to a wide choice of second, third and fourth year modules in each discipline. For details of individual modules please go to the module list for each degree scheme. This example is just one of a large number of possible combinations of pathways.

Information contained on the website with respect to modules is correct at the time of publication, but changes may be necessary, for example as a result of student feedback, Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies' (PSRB) requirements, staff changes, and new research.
