Course Overview

"I can't credit Natural Sciences enough for where I am now in my career; not only did it give me the knowledge to progress to study an MSc, it provided me with invaluable skills in problem solving, working with people and time management skills I use every single day in my professional life."

Siobhan, Forensic Scientist for the Metropolitan Police - graduated in 2015

Our program has been designed and recognized for its innovative approach to employability, winning the Embedding Employability element of the UK Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence in 2017 (the only Natural Sciences program to receive this accolade). We use a combination of group work and open-ended authentic assessments (known as problem-based learning) to support our students in developing essential scientific graduate skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership. This provides excellent preparation for further study and the world of work and is reflected in our excellent employability statistics. Our students earn an average salary of £26,000 six months after graduating.
