I completed a summer
studentship in
neurochemistry in Dr Gethin
McBean’s lab. My research
project investigated the
molecular basis of
neurodegeneration in a rare
genetic disorder, called
Cystinosis. This pilot project
investigated whether there is
the possibility that cystine
accumulation, exhibited in
Cystinosis, leads to altered thiol
redox homeostasis, glutamate
neurotransmitter homeostasis
and reduced levels of the major
antioxidant glutathione in
brain glial cells.

Upon completion of my Cell
and Molecular Biology
degree, I pursued a Masters in
Management at University
College London, with the
intention to combine both to
eventually manage a venture
capital trust with a
pharmaceutical focus. My
degree has given me the
necessary skills to carefully
interpret and assess existing
literature, problem solve,
critically evaluate, and
manage my time effectively.

Science at UCD was my top
choice. I knew then that I was
interested in biology,
chemistry and environmental
science. After graduating with
a BSc in Environmental
Biology from UCD, I obtained
a PhD position in the
Department of Microbiology
at Cornell University, USA.
Currently I am working on my
thesis, which focuses on the
molecular interactions
between fungi and bacteria.

n Explore molecular genetics
and molecular biology, which
are core components of
modern biology and
medicine, and form the basis
of biotechnology
The most valuable part of the
course was the thesis project I
undertook in my final year.
Although this was, at times, a
really challenging placement I
found great satisfaction and
enjoyment from optimising
experiments, learning new
skills and making new
discoveries. I knew that this
was the career path I wanted
to take and I am now a PhD
student in Infectious Disease at
the University of Cambridge.

Depending on your country of origin there are a number of ways that you can apply for a place on UCD undergraduate degreeprogrammes. This brochure details the application information for EU applicants who apply through the Central Applications Office, also known as the CAO. The CAO processes applications for undergraduate courses in Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

How to apply to UCD
DN200 Biological, Biomedical and Biomolecular Sciences (BBB)Subjectsn In Year 2, students must select a minimum of 2 subjects. If both subjects
are selected from among Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Physiology andGenetics, students must then select an additional subject that is not inthat list. The Year 2 subjects listed on each subject page illustrate themost popular subjects students combine.
n In first year, students may have to take introductory modules in Biology,Chemistry or Mathematics, depending on their secondary school results.
DN200 Chemistry and Chemical Sciences (CCS) Subjectsn In Year 2, students must select a minimum of 2 subjects. The Year 2
subjects listed on each subject page illustrate the most popular subjectsstudents combine.
n In first year, students may have to take introductory modules in Biology,Chemistry or Mathematics, depending on their secondary school results.
DN200 Mathematical, Physical and Geological Sciences (MPG) Mathematical Subjectsn In Year 2, students must select a minimum of 2 subjects. The Year 2
subjects listed on each subject page illustrate the most popular subjectsstudents combine.
n Important Advice: We recommend that all students studying any of theMathematical subjects should have a minimum Grade HB3 in LeavingCertificate Higher Level Mathematics (A-Level Grade B).
Physics Subjectsn In Year 2, students must select a minimum of 2 subjects. The Year 2
subjects listed on each subject page illustrate the most popular subjectsstudents combine.
Geologyn In Year 2, students must select a minimum of 2 subjects. The Year 2
subjects listed on each subject page illustrate the most popular subjectsstudents combine.
n In first year, students may have to take introductory modules in Biology,Chemistry or Mathematics, depending on their secondary school results.
DN200 Mathematics and Science Education DegreesBiology and Mathematics Educationn To teach Junior Certificate Science, students must also take modules in
Chemistry and Physics. These modules can be taken in Years 1, 2 or 3. n At the end of Year 2, students who decide not to follow a career in
teaching can pursue a degree in one of the following:– Biochemistry and Molecular Biology– Environmental Biology– Genetics
– Microbiology– Pharmacology– Plant Biology– Zoology
Chemistry and Mathematics Educationn To teach Junior Certificate Science, students must also take modules in
Biology and Physics. These modules can be taken in Years 1, 2 or 3.n At the end of Year 2, students who decide not to follow a career in
teaching can pursue a degree in Chemistry.
Physics and Mathematics Educationn To teach Junior Certificate Science, students must also take modules in
Biology and Chemistry. These modules can be taken in Years 1, 2 or 3.n At the end of Year 2, students who decide not to follow a career in
teaching can pursue a degree in Physics or Physics with Astronomy andSpace Science, depending on the Physics modules they choose in Years 1and 2.
Applied Mathematics and Mathematics Educationn In Year 2, students must select a minimum of 2 subjects. The Year 2
subject combinations illustrate the most popular subject studentschoose to combine with Applied & Computational Mathematics.
DN201 Computer Sciencen The topics shown indicate the course pathways for Computer Science
and Computer Science with Data Science, listing some of the topics that students can study.
n No prior knowledge of programming is required.n Small group work is facilitated in an active learning lab that encourages
students to work in teams and build their problem-solving skills. n The BSc Computer Science with Data Science follows the same first two
years as the BSc Computer Science. At the end of Year 2, students mustselect either Computer Science or Computer Science with Data Scienceas their degree subject.
DN230 Actuarial and Financial Studiesn The topics shown indicate the course pathway for Actuarial and
Financial Studies, listing some of the topics that students can study.n In Years 1-3, students take 10 Science modules and 2 elective modules.
A professional work placement in a financial institution or insurance company is integrated into third year and equates to half the year's work.
n Should a student achieve a sufficiently high standard in the degree, theywill gain some (or all) exemptions from the Core Technical seriesexaminations (CT1:8) as well as the Core Applications CA1 examinationof the Institute of Actuaries, or the Faculty of Actuaries.
