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.

Students take 10 core modules. Students must take COMP20280 in Stage 3 if not taken in Stage 2. Students must take PSY10050 and MST30070 in Stage 3 or Stage 4. Students may wish to choose their remaining credits from the option modules listed.

Students take 6 core modules amount to 40 ECTS credits. Students must take PSY10050 if not taken in Stage 3. Students take option modules to complete the credits required for Stage 4.
