Courses / Subject

Subject Overview
>MH201 provides an excellent education in all the major branches of Chemistry, where topics ranging from fundamentals to the frontiers of modern Chemistry are covered.
>In the early years, in addition to the core Chemistry modules, there is a flexible curriculum to suit personal interests, allowing courses and modules in other sciences, Critical Skills or an Elective to be combined with the core Chemistry content (Critical Skills/Elective option in 2nd year only).
>There is scope for some specialisation, through appropriate choice of modules in the fourth year. In fourth year, students have the opportunity to undertake a Single Major or Double Major degree, as well as direct experience of research through an in-depth individual research project.
>The Department of Chemistry at Maynooth University offers state-of-the-art facilities and high standards in both teaching and research, which ensures a highly supportive learning environment, as well as a personal supervisor to oversee an in-depth final year research project.
>In addition to becoming an expert in chemical science, students develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and scientific writing. These highly valued transferable skills means graduates are well-prepared for a range of careers and employment opportunities in chemistry and non-chemistry disciplines.
>Potential to move from MH201 into a related specialised degree after 1st year.
