Many students have a passionate interest in science and technology, and would seek to study a broader degree than just physics or just chemistry. The physical sciences degree answers this need and allows you to study a mix of courses from the physical sciences, including physics, chemistry, geology, biology and so on.
Moreover, the flexibility allows for mixes of course that involve no compulsory mathematics courses as many people with a love of science, do not necessarily have a love of maths.
This wide ranging degree will be of interest of anyone wishing to leave university with a science degree and will equip you for a future working in science based industry or science journalism.
