M.Sci. Structure within Natural Sciences
We have four year M.Sci. (Master in Science) degrees within Natural Sciences at Durham. These are four year undergraduate degrees (you do not get your B.Sc. and then go on to take a fourth year to get an M.Sci., the only degree awarded is the M.Sci. and is an Integrated Masters) where students take a major research project in Year 4. As with the B.Sc. in Natural Sciences, there is the
-
a Joint Honours M.Sci. degree within Natural Sciences which involves studying the same two subjects in each of the four years (it is usually possible to study a third or fourth subject in the first year) and satisfies the Joint-Honours rules below (click on the link for more information):
Biology and Chemistry
Biology and Physics
Chemistry and Maths
Chemistry and Physics
Maths and Physics -
a M.Sci. Natural Sciences degree in which you study two or more subjects where at least one of the subjects must be: Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics. An M.Sci. in Natural Sciences can be a slight variation from one of the M.Sci. Joint Honours degrees above or alternatively it could be just one of the subjects above (say Chemistry) with modules from other subjects (say Anthropology and Economics) for the first three years where there is the possibility of starting a new subject in your second year. In this case a fourth year would have to consist of all six modules from the subject listed above (Chemistry in this case). There are further details on this possible route. The title of this degrees will be an M.Sci. Honours in Natural Sciences and the subjects studied will be listed in alphabetic order.
