Course overview

Scientists ask questions about how the world works – especially the natural world – and then work to answer those questions using cycles of conjecture and experiment. Human curiosity leads us to ask basic questions. What is life? What distinguishes the living from the non-living? How do cells work? What causes disease?

MSci Integrated Natural Sciences aims to equip you to pose and answer scientific questions by drawing freely on the methods and mindsets of mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry and computation. By combining the strengths of Warwick's Medical School (WMS)Link opens in a new window and School of Life Sciences (SLS)Link opens in a new window, this course offers you unique opportunities to develop yourself as a scientist. The course is led by a diverse team of biologists, chemists and physicists.

Laboratory experimental work in small teams is a key part of the course right from the outset. Parallel classroom sessions will teach you relevant scientific concepts and methods, ranging across multiple disciplines. Computing as a scientific tool is emphasised throughout the course.

In your second and third years, this integrated approach runs alongside a more in-depth look at the molecular and cellular basis of life. This provides a strong foundation for lab-based experimental research in your fourth year, during which you will pursue your own, self-designed project (we will help you design this) and write a Master’s thesis.

Core modules

Year One

You will be taught by active research scientists with international reputations, who will help you to think creatively and quantitatively, formulate problems, and work effectively to solve them by drawing freely on the methods and mind sets of different scientific disciplines. Laboratory experimental work in small teams begins right from the outset, with parallel classroom sessions to teach you relevant scientific concepts and methods, ranging across multiple disciplines.

Years Two and Three

The Integrated Science approach continues for your cohort, running alongside a more in-depth look at the molecular and cellular basis of life in modules taught by the School of Life Sciences. Core modules include enzymology, protein structure/function, structural molecular biology and tools for discovery. In both years two and three, these are combined with optional modules chosen from an extensive menu, including the possibility to take courses outside of WMS and School of Life Sciences.

Year Four

You will focus primarily on lab-based experimental research, pursuing your own project, and will write a Master’s thesis. Alongside this, you will choose a number of optional modules in subjects, including essential and transferable research skills, frontier techniques in biomedical research, mathematical modelling of biomedical systems, and programming for biomedical data analysis.


Year One

Foundational Laboratory Skills and Computing Skills

You’ll study this module as an essential foundation for many of the modules that will follow on the course. We will equip you with the essential core skills in molecular biology and scientific computing, bringing you up to speed with the course philosophy.
