About this course

Natural sciences is a broad and integrating discipline that allows you to study the physical and biological world without being confined to a single specialism.

The connections between the sciences often turn out to be where the most interesting questions live. This part-time programme is delivered by the Open University through distance learning, making it possible to study the natural sciences at degree level without attending a campus. The Open University has extensive experience in delivering rigorous science education flexibly, supporting students through online materials, t
