Integrated masters
If you're considering a research career, our integrated masters degrees add an extra year of research training to your programme, allowing you to spend the bulk of your fourth year developing advanced research skills, whilst completing a major research project in one of our labs.
What is an integrated masters?
An integrated masters programme combines a masters with a BSc. Instead of studying two separate degrees, you study one single extended programme instead.
Our four-year integrated masters courses (MBiolSci or MBiomedSci) are designed for students who want to pursue a career in industrial or academic research, with the majority of the fourth year devoted to a major research project.
All of our courses are available as a three-year BSc degree, or a four-year MBiolSci or MBiomedSci degree (depending on your chosen subject). The first three years of your course will have the same structure as the BSc, with the fourth year designed to equip you with the advanced laboratory skills you’ll need for a successful and rewarding career in science.
Progression
All MBiolSci and MBiomedSci students who want to continue on the programme must achieve 60% overall in year 2 and 65% in the year 2 Skills module. BSc students who wish to transfer onto the MBiolSci or MBiomedSci programme will need to achieve these same scores in order to progress.
International undergraduate scholarships
We offer a generous package of financial support for international undergraduate students, including scholarships worth £10,000 towards the annual tuition fee.
Applications are open for existing offer holders for an undergraduate degree programme starting in autumn 2025.
