Description
The Natural Sciences programme is ideal if you wish to combine study in more than one area of science but retain a larger degree of flexibility than joint degrees allow. You will study modules from a minimum of two key disciplines with the opportunity to specialise as you develop your degree.
If you are enthusiastic about studying several branches of science, and want to think across traditional subject boundaries, then this could be the degree for you.
The Natural Sciences degree at UEA is the only degree where the choice of subjects studied is taken by you, the student. With the help of your personal academic advisor you will tailor your choices from across the sciences to create a unique degree that crosses conventional boundaries.
Do you want to understand not only the biological complexities of how a virus spreads through a population, but also the computational techniques necessary to predict and illustrate it? Do you want to be able to explain the causes of a tsunami, and to use mathematics to predict how the wave travels, and to understand the economics of how it impacts on vulnerable people? If the answer to these questions (or to thousands more like them) is yes then you should consider Natural Sciences.
Whatever choices you make, you will benefit from being taught in science departments where the research and teaching is considered excellent internationally. You will learn from scientists who are at the forefront of their field, who will share their latest results with you in lectures, seminars, fieldwork or practical classes. You will experience what is required of a competent scientist; from the careful thought needed to design an experiment in any science, through painstaking consideration of the results, to the sense of discovery and excitement of finding something new.
