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.
Stage 1

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.

Stage 2

Students take a minimum of 50 credits of programme modules (core and options). Students must take MATH10040 and MATH10320 in Stage 2 if not previously taken in Stage 1. Students can take up to 10 credits from elective modules or alternatively, they can choose 10 credits from Science option modules.
