In Year 1, you will undertake 40 credits of core modules. In addition to the core modules, you will choose two of six subjects (Chemistry, Bioscience, Physics, Mathematics, Materials, and Geography).

Students may not choose the Mathematics pathway together with the Materials pathway or the Bioscience pathway together with the Geography pathway.
