7 Natural Sciences Undergraduate Pathway Programs

The Department of Life Sciences runs courses in Biosciences, Environmental Sciences, Life Sciences, Psychology and Sports Health and Exercise Sciences. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research and a commitment to excellence, we aim to push the boundaries of understanding our environments, human health and performance.

Successful completion of this pathway will lead to the award of one of the following from Swansea University: BSc (Hons) Biochemistry, BSc (Hons) Biochemistry and Genetics, BSc (Hons) Genetics, BSc (Hons) Medical Biochemistry, BSc (Hons) Medical Genetics.

This pathway will help you gain the skills and knowledge of the core concepts needed to understand computing and their application in organisations. With the fast-changing pace of technological advances, you will experience learning at an individual as well as group level, ranging from report writing to designing your own business web page.

Mathematics is often challenging and always rewarding. It is one of the most universal of disciplines and is the basis on which the modern world is built. Science and business depend on mathematical foundations and mathematicians, therefore, play an essential role in our society. Mathematics is both ancient and modern; you will examine the number theory that Pythagoras studied around 2,500 years ago as well as the financial mathematics that the highest flyers on Wall Street rely on.

Science at Swansea University incorporates a range of subjects, from biology through to zoology. All these subjects bring together a range of research centres and provide an understanding of the world we live in. Swansea University is renowned for its research excellence in aquaculture, climate change, geo-informatics, geography, glaciology and zoology.

International Year One in Science and Mathematics will prepare you to enter your next semester of a bachelor’s degree program at Suffolk University. Upon successful completion of International Year One and meeting university requirements for undergraduate admission, you may enter your next semester of undergraduate study at Suffolk University. This transition from an INTO Suffolk program to a university degree program is called progression.

Students can enter at Year 0 (University Foundation) and are guaranteed progression to the first year of their chosen degree, providing that they meet the progression criteria. Year 0 takes place in ICP using dedicated lecturers and benefits from small class sizes.
