These are modular and enables students to specialise later on.
Courses
are generally lead to the award of a BSc degree. Some degrees include an extra
year and lead to an MNatSc, MChem , MSc, MPhys and MMath. Some maths, psychology
and general science degrees lead to a BA degree because they do not contain
a high scientific content.
The
science degrees commonly last for 4 years and many include and extra year,
spend working or studying. A number of courses also includes the study
of a foreign language. some degrees include a foundation year. These accept
