• applications of biochemistry in real-world problems such as biofuels, drug-design, nano-circuits and bio-sensing

BSc or MSci?
Some of our degrees are offers at two levels:

• three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc)
• four-year Master in Science (MSci)
• Our MSci degrees include an additional year of advanced study at master’s level, where you will gain additional research and practical experience to increase your employability and have the opportunity to work alongside our world-leading experts.

Our three-year Physics degree provides a strong understanding of the fundamental pillars of physics and a thorough grounding in advanced mathematics. Guided by our world-leading academics, you'll study cutting edge physics modules in relativity, cosmology, and electromagnetism, preparing you to contribute to the technological advances of modern society.  

Hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities will develop your practical skills for a wide range of physical science careers.

You'll explore physics in the natural universe, including astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and particle physics, as well as the physics that underpins emerging technologies.

You will study a broad curriculum for two years, before learning about the development of embedded software systems that are fundamental to almost all our use of technology.

Explore different aspects of computing science – such as games design, bioinformatics, and security – in your first two years.

Spend a year on an accredited, paid industrial placement between Stages 2 and 3.

Study specialist modules in Stage 3 – such as software verification technology and real-time and cyber-physical systems – to develop skills and knowledge for your chosen career.

About Software Engineering

Reliable software is fundamental to almost all of our use of technology, from the embedded systems that make a washing machine work to the flight controllers on a passenger jet.

Working alongside programmers who have in-depth knowledge of writing code, software engineers understand and oversee the development of these systems, requiring strong computing science, project management and problem-solving skills.

This four-year Civil Engineering degree includes a year working in industry and focuses on developing your practical and professional skills. You'll gain a wide-ranging knowledge of engineering topics so you graduate equipped for a career in the civil engineering sector.

You'll develop real-world experience – both at University and while on placement in Stage 3 – through our design-intensive programme, hands-on work in our specialist facilities and experience working directly in the sector.

You'll become a well-rounded engineer, with knowledge and skills across all five civil engineering disciplines – infrastructure, modelling and informatics, environmental systems, human and management systems, and surveying.

This Landscape Architecture course will improve your ability to think critically about the design of place and space. You'll develop advanced skills to deal with complex aspects of landscape design and planning in a creative and innovative way.

You'll develop a practical understanding of the theories, methods and techniques that are applied to landscape architecture. Much of what you learn in this Landscape Architecture course is applicable worldwide.

On graduation you'll be equipped for advanced practice in landscape-related disciplines. The Landscape Architecture Studies MA is ideal if you want to:

• Further your education
• Develop your career
• Prepare for further specialised study

Through the course you'll develop advanced transferrable skills in literacy, design and communication.

The course can also open up some career paths outside of landscape architecture. You could move into landscape conservation and garden design history.

This is an applied course where you will learn about the management of businesses operating from the farm gate to consumer plates. Along with business management skills, you will learn and be able to reflect on the key challenges of securing a sustainable food supply for this and future generations.

The agri-food chain is one of the world's largest industries. It involves the delivery of products from farms to worldwide markets.

Key topics covered in this course are:

• Food economics and management of agri-food businesses
• Food policy and its implications for businesses and consumers
• Gathering evidence through data analysis to support sound decision
• Agriculture and food production and distribution
• Consumer studies and marketing management
• This degree could lead to work in a range of international business sectors, such as food markets and marketing, retail management, and business consultancy.

This three-year joint honours degree focuses on developing your skills and abilities to critically analyse historical and political topics. You'll graduate as a confident independent learner with a specialist knowledge in areas of interest to you.

You'll be able to follow your own path, choosing to study modules which are closely related, or cast your net wide, studying topics that span six continents.

You’ll study in a research-led environment, alongside scholars at the forefront of their fields. You'll also improve your research skills, completing a range of research projects during your degree.

In history, you'll explore themes including revolution, slavery, radicalism, medical history, and religion across a variety of periods, geographies and cultures. In politics, you'll look at global politics, political philosophy and international relations.

The research master's contains taught and research elements. It is well suited as preparation for PhD research.
