Student Stories Interdisciplinary Science course. After meeting the staff and getting to know a bit more about the structure of the course I decided on it as my first choice. Now I am so glad of my decision; I love it! IScience sessions are really interactive which makes for a really stimulating learning atmosphere and it is great to be surrounded by peers that you know are just as enthusiastic in their love of science as oneself! The style of learning also means that we gain so many of the skills of a professional scientist, most of the time without even realising it. The course highlights how integrated the sciences are and how important it is for different disciplines of science to work together in order to solve multidisciplinary problems. I joined the IScience Society committee and really enjoyed setting up lots of fun and quirky social events for our IScience students!” A-Level Maths. I stumbled across Interdisciplinary Science and it sounded great! I could keep doing all the things I love, including Physics and Chemistry, and there was support for students who didn't do A- Level Maths; the course seemed perfect for me! The best part about I-Science is the satisfaction of having all the areas beginning to interlink and connect with each other. It really makes you understand how crucial all disciplines of Science are to one another, and that people on our course get to really appreciate all the different sides of Science. I switched on to the Masters course so I could stay on for another year and learn more valuable skills, and I am considering staying on for a PhD and staying in academic research.” “Hi! I'm Zoe. After taking all the sciences at A level, and loving them all equally, I knew I wanted to do a University course where I wouldn’t have to give up on any area of science straight away. This quickly led me to look at Natural Sciences courses and therefore on to Leicester’s IScience stands out for me firstly in being a research-based degree, essentially meaning you can take your work as far as you’re willing to go, while being given guided learning as opposed to a one size fits all lecture; and secondly through the modules integrating the various disciplines of science in interesting ways, focusing on real-world problems and teaching you how to think comprehensively about different principles in a number of contexts. I’m enrolled on the masters course and I hope to go on to do a PhD, leading to a career in academic research.” David also writes a regular blog for the University's Student Blog - you can follow his posts here: science/ “I’m David. When I was applying for University I was looking for a course that taught science without separating the disciplines, and after stumbling across Interdisciplinary Science and attending an open day, I knew I had found what I was looking for. In fact it was the only degree I applied for as I couldn’t find anything else quite like it! “I’m Cassie. I found Interdisciplinary Science when I was deciding what course to study at university. I was looking for courses that would allow me to study Physics without having done
