Science: Chemistry (includes Medicinal/Sustainable) Stream Bachelor of Science

University College Dublin (UCD)

Science is a common entry course, leading to a BSc degree in one of 26 degree subjects. All degree subjects are organised into a number of thematic streams. The Chemistry stream includes the following degree subjects:

Chemistry

Chemistry with Environmental & Sustainable Chemistry

Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology

Students interested in Chemistry and Biological, Biomedical & Biomolecular Sciences can study both streams in First Year.

Choosing your Degree Major

In general, students have to decide on one stream to pursue in second year and will study two or more degree subjects from that stream. Limited degree subjects between different streams can be studied in second year. It is timetable dependent and not guaranteed. A list is not available as it can change each year.

At the end of second year, students select their degree subject preferences. While we strive to accommodate each student’s top choice, some subjects can be competitive. As we offer a number of degree subjects in each stream, students have a number of similar degree subjects available. If a subject is oversubscribed, places are awarded on a competitive basis.
