From Orientation to GraduationBasic Principles
· Stage 1 (first year) is divided into 12 modules. You must fulfill the requirements of at least two subjects (detail on next slides).
· Stage 2. ALL subjects that you are qualified to take are available to you. Study two, three or more of these.
· Stage 3 and beyond focus on one subject – your degree major. In 2013, 2014 and 2015 over 98% of students going into third year got their first choice of degree major. Only Pharmacology and Physiology were over-subscribed.
· 23 of the degree majors are 3 or 4 year BSc (Hons) programmes. Science and Maths Education degrees are5 years – BSc + MSc.
Choosing Modules in Stage 1 (first year)
· Take 12 modules. At least 10 must be from Science (Table 1 of the Stage 1 leaflet) + 2 electives (can also be in Science).
· SCI10010 is compulsory. Lectures in first two weeks. Small-group project with your academic tutor from week 3.
· In Stage 1, each of the 27 degree subjects have
(i) Modules you may have to do – depending on what you did in Leaving Cert/FETAC/Mature/A-level/International etc. (CC)
(ii) Modules you must do in Stage 1 (C)
(iii) Modules you must do in either Stage 1 or Stage 2. (PC)
• These are shown in the columns of Table 2 of the Stage 1 Leaflet…

· Most modules will involve lectures, practicals and tutorials, with continuous assessment.· Apply for extenuating circumstances if you miss any for valid,
unforseen reasons. 2 week deadline.
· Assessment complete by the end of the semester, including an end of semester exam in most cases. Exam period ends on Friday December 18th.
· Module grades and Grade Points : A+(4.2), A(4.0),…,D-(2.0) Grade Point Average (GPA) – average over your modules.
· Progression : can only carry 2 fails into Stage 2
· Degree grade is based 70% on final year, 30% on penultimate year.
