    It's not really a strict course in itself per se... You choose subjects in first and second year: variances of maths, biology, physics, chemistry, geology etc. Then in the third year you specialise. The allocation of places is based on a]. what you choose, b]. what subjects you sat (e.g. you can't just do botany if you spent your first 2 years studying physics, chemistry and maths) and c]. if places in one course are limited, allocation is based on your marks. The subjects you can then acquire your degree in range from:

    Biochemistry with Cell Biology
    Biochemistry with Immunology
    Biochemistry with Structural Biology
    Botany
    Chemistry
    Environmental sciences
    Genetics
    Geography
    Geology
    Microbiology
    Neuroscience
    Physics
    Physics and Astrophysics
    Physiology
    Zoology

    And often there is the opportunity to "jump" into other courses, such as medicinal chemistry, physics and chemistry of advanced materials, computational physics/chemistry, etc.

    There's more to it than that, but I think I've given you enough information to chew on
