Chemistry holds the key to our future, continuously developing new cures while creating possibilities for a greener, more sustainable future. With our Chemical Sciences General Entry option, which includes lots of innovative hands-on laboratory work in our modern laboratories, you can be a part of this future. This course introduces you to the fascinating world of chemical sciences, allowing you to experience a wide array of topics before specialising in BSc in Analytical Science (BSc) in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, BSc in Chemistry with Artificial Intelligence (run by the DCU School of Chemical Sciences in collaboration with the DCU School of Computing). While progression into year two of these programmes is available to all Chemistry General Entry students, where places are the limited year two programme places will be assigned to students, based on their year one grades by merit order. All students who successfully complete year one will be offered one of their year two programme choices.
