The undenominated Science Honour’s Degree builds a core foundation in key science disciplines in the first two years of study. The course emphasises practical laboratory experience for students and is delivered in the new MacMunn Science building at IT Sligo. The subjects studied in year one include core Science modules in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Information Technology and Learning to Learn as well as elective choices. The second year of the degree focuses on developing your knowledge, skills and competence in core areas of analytical science, biochemistry and microbiology, whilst allowing the flexibility to specialise in elective choices. In year two the core science modules include Microbiology, Biochemistry, Analytical Techniques, Mathematics and Science Communications, and elective choices in Pharmaceutical Science, Environmental Science, Biomedical Science, Chemistry and Occupational Health and Safety. Students may select from a number of Honour’s Degree paths within the School of Science to study in years three and four.

A minimum of 4 Grade D’s at ordinary level and 2 grade C3 at Higher level. Leaving certificate subjects must include Mathematics, and English or Irish. A science subject at leaving certificate is not a requirement.
