From researching elephant behaviour in Zimbabwe, to studying laser physics in Oxford or working as a metallurgist in Australia, studying Natural Sciences at Bath can open up a world of possibilities.

Natural Sciences allows you to study more than one science subject, so you can shape your degree to your interests and career aspirations.

Here at Bath, you'll pick two main sciences from these options:

• biology
• biochemistry
• chemistry
• pharmacology
• physics
• environmental science (from year 2 on the BSc)

The combination of disciplines means you’ll gain a wide range of skills to be able to approach scientific problems from multiple angles. This is a unique perspective and is highly sought after by employers. You can adjust your level of specialisation as your career plans develop, and even widen your course further by adding units from an additional subject, including:

• a third science
• management
• education
• psychology
• mathematics

Please note that not all subject combinations are available. Full details are on the individual course pages.
