Chemistry with Environmental & Sustainable Chemistry Stage 2 (CVC2)

Curricular information is subject to change

Show/hide contentOpenClose All

Students who return failing grades in a trimester amounting to 15 credits, or more, will be identified under the UCD Continuation – Academic Progress policy. Students whose rate of progression and performance over two academic years is deemed unacceptable will be referred to the Governing Board to be reviewed for exclusion from the programme.

Students who fail to progress from the stage of the programme they are registered to for more than two academic years (except where a period of Leave of Absence has been granted for one of those years) will also be contacted under the Continuation – Academic Progress Policy.

As Stages 3 and 4 have the most dynamic components of the programme, and the material studied previously may no longer be relevant, a student who has been away from the programme for a significant period should be required to register again to Stage 3. The upper limit for completion of Stages 3 and 4 should be six years if they choose to do 120 credits with 20 in each year.

Apart from the disciplines that are available to graduates with a BSc in Chemistry, graduates in Chemistry with Environmental & Sustainable Chemistry will be particularly suited to employment in the environmental and emerging energy industries, including commercial environmental analysis, alternative energy industry, Environmental Protection Agency, ESB and Bord Gáis. Graduates can also pursue a range of MSc or PhD opportunities in Ireland or abroad.


Stage 2

Students take 5 core modules. Overall, students must complete 50 credits from programme modules (core/option modules).
Additional modules may be selected from within the BSc Programmme to complete 60 credits or alternatively, students may choose 10 credits from elective modules.
