Course summary
Course overview
Explaining Natural Sciences
The MSci with International Study is a five-year degree where you spend your third year studying at one of our partner institutions overseas getting a broader perspective of the subjects that you study. You will develop key skills such as communication, confidence, language and independence. All of these are extremely sought after by employers.
The MSci degree adds a further year of advanced study focusing on one subject in your final year. This is designed to enhance your research, analytical and project management skills.
Why choose this course?
Tailor your degree - Flexibility to study different subjects and modules to suit your interests
Accredited degree by the Society for Natural Sciences
Global experience - Spend a year studying overseas as part of your course. Read what it's like to study abroad and how it can open new doors for adventures, connections and opportunities.
Research experience - Experience life as a professional researcher in your final year
What you will study
You study modules from each of the subjects in their chosen stream gaining comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge. Collaborative modules in the second and third year, encourage you to understand theories and ideas from different areas of science and explore how they work together. A highlight of the course is the synoptic project where you work on a group project with students from other streams. You will bring your individual expertise to the project and find new ways to apply the knowledge from your learning in previous years.
Careers
You'll graduate with the knowledge and technical skills to take a broad scientific approach to help tackle today's complex problems. During the masters year you gain specialist experience in a professional research environment through an independent research project. This is good preparation for research job roles within industry, or if you are considering further study, such as a PhD.
