The Natural Sciences degree programme has the following features: The degree programme is based at the Durham campus The University operates on a system of undergraduates studying 120 credits each year. There are single, double and a few treble modules, so students choose combinations which add up to six modules. There are two types of degree that you can obtain, a 3 year BSc (degree code CFG0) or a 4 year MSci (degree code FGC0). Both the BSc and the MSci contain BSc Joint Honours and MSci Joint Honours degrees as well as the more broad BSc Natural Sciences and MSci Natural Sciences degrees. You should note that not all combinations of all modules in all subjects are feasible. Choices are constrained by the limits of the University timetable, which changes every year.

A significant number of Natural Science graduates progress onto higher level study following their degree. Several remain within their academic field of interest, notably at Durham but also other prestigious institutions including Oxford, Cambridge, York, Bath, Edinburgh to name a few. Others pursue vocational professional study such as teaching (PGCE) and Journalism. A small number take conversion courses in law (Graduate Diploma Law) in preparation for training as a solicitor or barrister.
