What is a Structured Elective?
A Structured Elective means taking 15 credits from a defined list of modules in an area unrelated to your degree over the course of your undergraduate studies. A Structured Elective will appear on your official UCD Transcript, and means future employers will see that you have a block of credits in a specific area.
The list below shows Structured Electives that are available and details of the modules linked to each one. Modules can only be used once to meet the requirements of a structured elective. Not all modules will be available in a given year. If your major or minor is closely related to the Structured Elective topic, you won’t be eligible to be awarded that Structured Elective. You can check these details in the Eligibility section.
