By studying Science at Maynooth, you are joining a research tradition that can trace its roots to the first professors of the Royal College of St Patrick, founded in 1795. The Faculty of Science and Engineering at Maynooth University now comprises the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Experimental Physics, Mathematical Physics, Mathematics and Statistics, and Psychology.
Research interests of the Departments within the Faculty of Science and Engineering include:
>Biology: Bioinformatics, Immunology, Medical Mycology, Molecular Genetics and Plant Biotechnology.
>Chemistry: Organic, Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, Biophysical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry.
>Computer Science: Computer Vision, Computational Cognitive Modeling, Computer Science Education Research, Principles of Programming, GeoComputation.
>Electronic Engineering: Biomedical Engineering, Radio and Wireless Communications, Ocean Energy Research.
>Experimental Physics: Terahertz Space Optics, Far Infrared Astronomy, Cosmology, Molecular Physics.
>Mathematics: Algebra & Number Theory, Geometric Analysis, Mathematics Education, Statistics.
>Theoretical Physics: elementary particle physics and quantum field theory, dynamical systems, classical and quantum chaos, and quantum information science.
How the Bachelor of Science degree works >Four subjects in 1st year, one of which is Mathematics. Students choose their three other science subjects from the seven subjects available.
>No decision about subject choice is necessary until four weeks after commencement of 1st year. This gives you a chance to sample various subjects and make an informed decision.
>As is the case with the majority of our degrees, students can choose Critical Skills in 1st year. This is an optional 15 credit course, only available to 1st years, which focuses on developing skills such as effective communication, creative thinking and problem solving - skills that will benefit you in learning, employment and in life. See page 8 for more details.
>2nd year - continue with three of your 1st year subjects. >3rd year - continue with two subjects. >4th year - continue with one or two subjects.
