SUMMARY TABLES OF DN200 STAGE 1 AND STAGE2 CORE MODULES 2022-2023

UCD SCIENCE

Students do not have to make a decision on

their final choice of subject/major until the

Spring Trimester of Stage 1 for progression

to Stage 2 and the Spring Trimester of

Stage 2 for progression to Stage 3.

The following tables are a summary of the

modules you will need to take to fulfil the

requirements for different degree subjects.

They show that a number of subjects are

compatible and have some of the same core

requirements and if you select carefully

you can fulfil the degree requirements and

combine a number of subjects.

For each subject there are modules that

you may have to do depending on what

you have studied already (Conditional

Core), modules that you must do in a

particular stage (Core) and modules that

you must do either in Stage 1 or Stage 2 or

in Stage 2 or Stage 3 (Programme Core)

SUMMARY TABLES

OF STAGE 1 AND STAGE 2 CORE MODULES

UCD Science (DN200) is a diverse and flexible programme. Students can complete a degree in any one of the 27 subjects offered. It is possible to keep your options open by fulfilling the core (compulsory) requirements for a number of subjects.

NOTES: 1 Students required to take MATH00010 must defer MATH10310 or MATH10350 until Stage 2. 2Students must take at least two of BIOL10130, BIOL10140 or BMOL10030 in either Stage 1 or Stage 2. 3 Students required to take MATH10290 can take MATH10340 instead. 4Students required to take MATH10310 can take MATH10350 instead 5Students should also take either ACM10060 in Stage 1 or if not taken, take ACM10100 in Stage 2

NOTES:

1 In order to take PHYC20080 in Stage 1, students must have attained a minimum grade of H5 in Leaving Certificate Physics (A level, Grade B) AND a minimum grade of H5 in Leaving Certificate Maths (A level, Grade B)
