The Natural Sciences Programme

Welcome to the Natural Sciences website

The Natural Sciences degree programme allows you to combine subjects throughout the three or four years of your degree programme. Put simply, if you are a scientist and want to combine more than one subject at Durham University then you need to apply for Natural Sciences. The degree programme is full-time only and is based at the Durham city campus. Besides the broad Natural Sciences degree itself, the degree programme also includes a large number of Joint Honours degrees. The structure of Natural Sciences emphasises choice and flexibility, together with academic depth. It is a very popular degree programme and our standard offer is A*AA at A-Level or a similar level of achievement in other qualifications. Click on the postbox on the right to see the brochure.
