Please ensure you read the detailed information on the application requirements

Information on course content is available on the myucd website.

The columns for Maths and Laboratory science “subject areas” give an indication of the standard required in these subjects. You can show your strength in these through formal examinations (e.g. school leaving examinations, QQI-FET, access programmes, other third level). If you don’t have any relevant examinations, you may be able to meet the requirements through experiential learning, so make sure to detail any work or other experience which demonstrates your ability in these areas.

The column “other areas to note”, advises on other areas to pay particular attention to for the course.
