Choose three pathways (or two pathways plus electives): Choose two pathways: Choose your honours degree: Applied Biology Introduction to Applied and Applied Applied (Honours) (Honours) and Computer Science and Applied : A variety of electives are offered. and Applied Bachelor of Science Degree Course Outline 2014 2 College of Science, NUI Galway Applied and Applied and Computer Science and Applied

Applied [60 credits] [60 credits] [60 credits] Choose one Group: Choose three 20-credit 2nd Year degree pathways Choose two 30-Credit 3rd Year degree pathways Choose one 60-Credit degree pathway (single degree option or a joint degree option) Group A Group B Group C Group D Group E Group F Each Group contains four 15 Credit modules. 4 x 15 = 60 Credits. 3 x 20 = 60 Credits 2 x 30 = 60 Credits Choose two 20-Credit 2nd Year degree pathways plus 20 Credits of electives Required if taking a Biological pathway or taking a joint degree option in 4th Year. Biological Pathways:,,,,,, 2 x 20 + 20 = 60 Credits OR OR Notes: 1 x 60 = 60 Credits Joint Degree Options: and ; and ; and Applied Single Degree Options:, Applied,, and Plant Science,,, Earth Choose one 30- (or 40- or 60-) credit 3rd Year degree pathway and 30 (or 20) credits of electives and Ocean Science,,,, and Applied,, 1 x 30 + 30 = 60 Credits / 1 x 40 + 20 = 60 Credits / 1 x 60 = 60 Credits 1. Some pathways share modules (BO201 and/ or BO202). These two modules can only be counted once in credit accumulation. When choosing two or more pathways containing these shared modules, please select additional Single Pathways exempt from the 2 Pathways requirement are: Applied, elective(s) to compensate for this double (40 Credits),, counting. Science (40 Credits),, Mathematical Studies (60 Credits), 2. Similarly, credit cannot be accumulated for elective modules that are also included as part and Applied (40 Credits) of a pathway. Module Options within Pathways: Where module options are indicated within a pathway, these modules are highlighted in colour. and Applied Allocation of 2nd Year Pathway/Elective Places: Progression to 4th Year: In 2nd Year, there is a capacity limit on the places available in each pathway/elective. Students are allocated their pathways based on their overall 1st Year results and submitted pathway preferences for 2nd Year. Every student who achieves an overall result of pass in their third year examinations will be guaranteed a place in the fourth year of the programme. However, students are not necessarily guaranteed their first choice of subject. Details on the Procedure/Guidelines for allocating places is in the Student Guide issued to all 1st Year students and available on the web: http://www.nuigalway.ie/science/documents/1st_yr_science_handbook_1314.pdf If a student achieves 45% overall in his/her third year examinations at the first sitting, he/she will be guaranteed his/her first choice of pathway. If a student achieves less than 45% overall in his/her third year examinations, he/she will be allocated a pathway from the major pathways taken in third year.
