BSc Natural Sciences or BSc Molecular Science?
Hi there
Since September I've completed S151 - maths for science and S154 - science starts here. I also started S104 - exploring science at the same time, and picked up MST121 - using mathematics in February. Currently I am down to do a B64 BSc Natural Sciences degree. Under the transitional arrangements I need to declare my qualification so as to remain eligible for tuition fees until 2017 or the end of my degree.
I'm in a bit of a pickle as to which degree to go for. Obviously there is an overlap, but would you say that Natural Sciences is a bit broader than Molecular Science? The latter seems better for analytical chemistry, which is relevant to my current job.
Also, I assume that I am only eligible to have one degree's worth funded, so another degree would cost me for the extra 120 credits or so?
One final question: do people tend to write what they have specialised in, along with relevant modules, on their CV? And how much do employers take note of this?
Thanks! -

Hey there
isn't the Molecular Science degree being shut down by 2014? They've phased out some of the compulsory modules and the last presentations for the residentials are this/next summer I think.
