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.
Read more about the Foundational Laboratory Skills and Computing Skills moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2023/24 year of study).
Atoms and Molecules
This module aims to equip you with the conceptual, theoretical and computational skills required for the analysis and engineering of atomic and molecular systems, with an emphasis on biomolecules. You’ll explore the molecules of life, looking at the physics that holds them together, the chemistry by which they react in watery solution and at their structures, motions and reactivities. Looking at self-organisation, you’ll also discuss the very important phenomenon for all living matter: how to generate large scale and defined structures out of a bunch of individual proteins. As part of this module, you will focus on revising and extending your A level skills in Mathematics to support with plotting and fitting data.
Read more about the Atoms and Molecules moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2023/24 year of study).
Organelles and Cells
This module aims to equip you with the conceptual, theoretical and computational skills required for the analysis and engineering of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organelles and cells. Starting with understanding the principles of light, you’ll also learn how life harnesses electrical forces to communicate and compute information. As the module progresses, you’ll explore chemical and synthetic biology, principally examining biology as macromolecular chemistry and how we can use chemistry to make biological probes. We conclude this module with cell division and underpin the principles of just how does one cell become two?

Embryos and Organisms
This module aims to equip you with the conceptual, computational and practical skills required for the analysis and engineering of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and their development. You’ll begin with development and unpick a key question in development of life: how are embryos organised? You’ll then move on to immunity, looking at the mechanisms and mathematics of the immune response, considering how do organisms recognise non-self. We’ll finish this module by covering pathogens and parasites and you’ll dissect how parasites have evolved to invade our bodies.

Year Two
Integrated Natural Sciences - Cellular Decision Making
Building on your experience from Year 1, you’ll use mathematical and computational approaches to understand how cells can make decisions. We focus on different forms of feedback, to explain how, for example, cells can display switch-like behaviour. We finish by applying to developmental patterning.
Read more about the Cellular Decision Making moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2023/24 year of study).
Integrated Natural Sciences - Patterns and Populations
This module is a continuation of the modules covered in Year One of your studies and focuses on molecules, cells and organisms to further increase scale to population level. Using more advanced methods and analysis, you’ll analyse data, model interactions and spatial patterns and link changes at the DNA and transcriptional level to outcomes in spatial developmental patterns, species interaction and population ecology.
Read more about the Patterns and Populations moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2023/24 year of study).
Integrated Science Tutorials
In this module, we’ll extend the teaching of scientific writing. You’ll be expected to use mostly primary literature in preparing for assessments. This module should enhance your ability to digest primary literature on a variety of topics and write in a scientific manner. It will also support you with additional second year modules that you’re undertaking. You will write detailed and well researched essays, draft components of scientific papers and concisely summarise research findings, research topics in the literature and learn how to critically analyse scientific papers.

Read more about the Protein Structure and Function moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2023/24 year of study).
Tools for Biochemical Discovery
On this module, you will examine the principles by which key techniques in the field of biochemical discovery provide biochemical information. This will involve you studying structural techniques such as X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and cryo-electron microscopy. As well as, biophysical and analytical techniques such as circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and fluorescence. In the second half of the course, you will widen your studies to analyse biological interactions through case studies, covering topics such as proteomics, high-resolution light microscopy, surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry and immunoprecipitation.
