Pathway SeleCtiOn


[60 Credits] [60 credits] [60 credits] [60 credits]

Choose one Group:

Group AGroup BGroup CGroup DGroup EGroup F

Each Group contains four 15 Credit modules.

4 x 15 = 60 Credits.

Choose three 20-credit 2nd Year degree pathways

3 x 20 = 60 Credits

OR

Choose two 20-Credit 2nd Year degree pathways plus 20 Credits of electives

2 x 20 + 20 = 60 Credits

Electives.Notes:

1. Some pathways share modules (BO201 and/or BO202). These two modules can only be counted once in credit accumulation. When choosing two or more pathways containing these shared modules, please select additional elective(s) to compensate for this double counting.

2. Similarly, credit cannot be accumulated for elective modules that are also included as part of a pathway.

Choose two 30-Credit 3rd Year degree pathways

2 x 30 = 60 Credits

Required if taking a Biological pathway or taking a joint degree option in 4th Year. Biological Pathways: Anatomy, Biochemistry, Botany and Plant Science, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Zoology

OR

Choose one 30- (or 40- or 60-) credit 3rd Year degree pathway and 30 (or 20) credits of electives

1 x 30 + 30 = 60 Credits / 1 x 40 + 20 = 60 Credits / 1 x 60 = 60 Credits

Single Pathways exempt from the 2 Pathways requirement are: Applied Mathematics, Chemistry (40 Credits), Computer Science, Earth and Ocean Science (40 Credits), Mathematics, Mathematical Studies and Computer Science (60 Credits), Physics and Applied Physics (40 Credits)

Choose one 60-Credit degree pathway (single degree option or a joint degree option)

1 x 60 = 60 Credits

Joint.Degree.Options: Mathematics and Computer Science; Mathematical Studies and Computer Science; Mathematics and Applied Mathematics

Single.Degree.Options: Anatomy, Applied Mathematics, Biochemistry, Botany and Plant Science, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth and Ocean Science, Mathematics, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Physics and Applied Physics, Physiology, Zoology

Module.Options.within.Pathways:Where module options are indicated within a pathway, these modules are highlighted in colour.

Allocation.of.2nd.Year.Pathway/Elective.Places:

In 2nd Year, there is a capacity limit on the places available in each pathway/elective. Students are allocated their pathways based on their overall 1st Year results and submitted pathway preferences for 2nd Year.

Details on the Procedure/Guidelines for allocating places is in the Student Guide issued to all 1st Year students and available on the web:http://www.nuigalway.ie/science/documents/1st_yr_science_handbook_1314.pdf

Progression.to.4th.Year:

Every student who achieves an overall result of pass in their third year examinations will be guaranteed a place in the fourth year of the programme. However, students are not necessarily guaranteed their first choice of subject.

If a student achieves 45% overall in his/her third year examinations at the first sitting, he/she will be guaranteed his/her first choice of pathway. If a student achieves less than 45% overall in his/her third year examinations, he/she will be allocated a pathway from the major pathways taken in third year.
