Students must select a total of 12 modules (60 credits) in Stage 1 with a minimum of 11 modules taken from core and option modules. Core, programme core and option modules are to be taken as directed. An elective module can be taken in the Spring trimester or alternatively, students can register for an additional module from the Science programme.
Students in Stage 2 Mathematics, Biology & Education (Stream A Biological & Environmental Sciences) take 8 core modules. Students must take MST20040 in Stage 2 or Stage 3.

Stage 1 Options - D)MIN0OF: Students who intend to pursue a pathway in Mathematics, Biology and Education may wish to consider taking 5 credits in Physics in order to prepare them for teaching Junior Cycle Science. If you have not taken Physics before, you may wish to take PHYC10070 Foundations of Physics. If you have taken Physics and achieved an O2 or H5 or better in Leaving Certificate Physics (or equivalent), you may wish to consider other listed Physics modules. Note: Students of Biology will complete 10 credits of Chemistry as part of their Stage 1 and 2 core modules, but you may wish to take CHEM00010 if you have not taken Chemistry previously or did not achieve O2 or H5 or better in Leaving Certificate Chemistry (or equivalent). Students may wish to take COMP10290 Computation for Scientists in advance of ACM20030 Computational Science in Stage 2. |
