The BAdvSci(Hons)BDes conjoint is designed for students who are keen on scientific research and wish to progress to postgraduate study. For the Design component, you will focus on developing practical solutions for current challenges and future scenarios. The Design courses encourage system analysis, prototype development and iterative testing to create appropriate, sustainable solutions for products, services and innovation. Within the Advanced Science side of the conjoint, you will have the opportunity to focus on a research area that interests you, including a final year independent project under the mentorship of an academic. You’ll choose one of the following specialisations: Chemistry, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Ecology, Environmental Change, Geology, Marine Science, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Statistics. Most graduates of the BAdvSci(Hons) programme have an interest in pursuing postgraduate scientific study or advanced research careers. With the support of creative problem-solving and design skills, you will be uniquely positioned to explore and translate the real potential and application of new scientific discoveries.Physics seeks to understand the basic properties of matter and energy and to use this knowledge to create new technologies and devices, explain the properties of complex systems and to model emergent phenomena. Physics is arguably the most fundamental of all sciences. If you understand the principles of physics and the laws of nature you’ll have a sharp insight into the world around you. All of modern science and technology is underpinned by physics. A degree in Physics will give you an understanding of the nature of matter as well as training in experimental methods and the mathematical analysis of physical processes.
