Course summary
The Natural Sciences BSc degree is designed for students who have a passion for science and discovery. The Natural Sciences degree is a high-quality, modern education programme with an emphasis on the power of interdisciplinary and creative, innovative thinking and scientific problem solving.
The degree draws on the strengths in science education and interdisciplinary research at King’s College London and will cover the spectrum of subjects across the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, computation, mathematics and physics), and with training in entrepreneurship skills.
The programme is designed to train graduates with knowledge and applied understanding of principles of interdisciplinary sciences crossing traditional subject boundaries and skilled in finding solutions using cross-disciplinary approaches based on research and evidence, which will enhance their employability in a wide variety of careers of scientific and societal importance, including emerging and future industries that address major global challenges: Net Zero, Sustainability, Green Growth, Environment.
You also have the opportunity to transfer to the Study Abroad pathway and spend your third year at a partner institution before returning to King’s for the final year. This depends on you reaching a certain grade average and being accepted by a partner university.
