Science Faster Route
The Science Faster Route offers focussed, high achieving candidates joining us straight from school the option to complete the Honours Degree in 3 years or MSci degree in 4 years.
We welcome applications from students holding a range of qualifications. Entry requirements for this route are higher than those for Year 1 entry, recognising the faster pace of study and helping to ensure that students are equipped to succeed in a more academically rigorous and structured programme, while still benefiting from some opportunities for flexibility.

Starting university was honestly an interesting experience, it was really scary but also exciting at the same time. I initially thought that I'd have trouble making new friends but a lot of my coursemates are friendly, so I got along with them easily. The university is huge and at first I couldn't really find my way around but after a few months I came to know almost every single shortcut like the palm of my hand. The first term was quite challenging but manageable. Studying definitely became easier once I got used to the teaching style. There's also a lot of support available and the lab tutors are very helpful. Deadlines can be stressful so I try to start my assignments as early as possible and I must say it's been going quite well for me. Overall, I'm really enjoying university. It's been a great experience and I've learnt a lot.
