Understanding your degree Te UCD Science DN200 programme offers 22 subjects categorised into three areas: Biological, Biomedical & Biomolecular Sciences; Chemistry & Chemical Sciences; and Mathematical & Physical Sciences. You can specify which area to study on your CAO form or you can wait until you start at UCD to decide on an area. You are guaranteed a degree place from within your cho- sen area of study. UCD Science also offers one Bachelor of

What will I study? First year for the DN200 Science programme is designed to enable you to sample a number of subjects in your chosen area but also includes some core subjects required for all degrees, e.g. Mathematics. It ensures that you have the foundations in the subjects you require for your degree but it also allows students who have not taken a subject at second level to study it at uni- versity.
