Module Level and Your Undergraduate Degree
A programme is an approved course of study, the successful completion of which normally leads to a University award. The award is made when the required number of credits have been successfully accumulated, at appropriate levels, from approved modules, and over an appropriate period of time, and all other programme requirements have been met, as outlined in the programme specification (see General Regulation 3.8 of UCD's Academic Regulations) approved by Academic Council and/or its sub-committees.
Below is the information relating to the Module Levels applying to the undergraduate Honours Bachelor’s degrees in Architecture: BSc (Architecture) Science) and BSc (Landscape Architecture). Students intending to pursue the 5-year BSc/MArch pathway should be mindful of this information when selecting elective modules particularly in respect of the 3-year 180 credit BSc (Architecture) degree award.
