Three-year degrees

In many of our science and engineering subjects well-qualified applicants may apply for direct entry to Year 2, making it possible to graduate with a BSc after three years of study.

Entry to second year is also available for many of our art and design programmes.

Five-year degrees

Our Veterinary Medicine BVM&S degree and our MA Fine Art degree take five years.

In science and engineering we offer five-year MBiolMChem, MChemPhys, MEarthSci, MEng, MInf, MMath and MPhys degrees. Well-qualified applicants may opt for direct entry into Year 2 of these programmes.

These masters degrees entail in-depth study often with a research focus, but they are undergraduate degrees and are not equivalent to a postgraduate masters.

Six-year degrees

Our Medicine MBChB degree is a six-year programme.
