Programme profile

First year for the Science programme is designed to enable you to sample a number of subjects in your chosen area but also includes some core subjects required for all degrees, for example Mathematics. It ensures that you have the foundations in the subjects you require for your degree but it also allows students who have not taken a subject at second level to study it at university. The choices you make in first year will have a bearing on your final degree subject(s). In first year, students have a mixture of lectures and practical classes every day. Typically, lectures take place in the mornings, practicals in the afternoons. In addition to the subject modules you must study as part of your degree, you also take two additional modules called electives, which you may choose from anywhere across the university, including Science.

Applicants who do not know which area of Science they will specialise in simply enter DN200 on the CAO Application Form. They can decide on their area of study during their first year.

Applicants who know which area they would like to study can select ONE specific area from the categories below and are guaranteed a place in a degree programme from within this area

Joint Degrees are available between some combinations of subjects
