Courses are generally lead to the award of a BSc degree. Some degrees include an extra year and lead to an MNatSc, MChem , MSc, MPhys and MMath. Some maths, psychology and general science degrees lead to a BA degree because they do not contain a high scientific content. 

The science degrees commonly last for  4 years and many include and extra year, spend working or studying. A  number of courses also includes the study of a foreign language. some degrees include a foundation year. These accept student with out the usual required qualifications and are intended to bring students up to standard in basic science subjects.
