Applied sciences course material often demonstrates how scientists work on technical solutions to industry problems through a combination of scientific principles. This type of program is typically interdisciplinary and often incorporates multiple different branches of science.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom and Britain, is a sovereign state located off the northwestern coast of continental Europe. The two most famous (and oldest) universities are Oxford and Cambridge (often referred to as Oxbridge by many Britons). England also has several other world-class institutions, including several in London (notably Imperial College, the London School of Economics, University College London and King's College London, all are part of London University).

Master of Science degrees are advanced academic programs that are offered by colleges and universities to students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree. Earning an MSc may lead to greater professional and personal opportunities for graduates.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
