Our programme is carefully constructed to foster an interdisciplinary approach across a wide range of biological, biotechnology, medical, chemical and pharmaceutical research areas.If you enjoy Biology and/or Chemistry as Leaving Certificate subjects, enjoy working in a laboratory environment and like the challenge and excitement of scientific research and development, then Biological and Chemical Sciences, with its broad range of opportunities, may be the CAO entry route for you.Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment. Laboratory work and practical aspects of the course are also assessed on an ongoing basis via laboratory reports etc., while homework assignments are also assessed in a number of modules.During Year 1, you will be taught by experienced academic staff from across the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science who specialise in the many diverse aspects of the programme. This includes staff from the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, the Department of Biochemistry, the Department of Microbiology, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Physics and the School of Mathematical Sciences.
