In recent years there has been increased demand for graduates who understand science and can present it effectively and imaginatively. This degree, is designed to meet that demand by combining rigorous scientific practice with cultural and historical analyses, media techniques and the exploration of scientific issues. The degree presents key ideas in science and asks what role these ideas play in our everyday lives and how these roles have developed historically. The forging of a partnership between staff in the Faculties of Applied Sciences and Humanities has resulted in a highly integrated programme employing innovative teaching methods.
If you have a mixed science/humanities background this three year full-time degree is particularly attractive and accessible. However, do not be put off if you have no formal qualifications in science because the degree is designed to cater sensitively to your needs and many students in your position have already succeeded in adapting to the demands placed upon them.
