Undenominated Science Question

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if you finish your 3 years in undenominated science and go on to do 4th year specializing in (for example) applied physics, are you equally as qualified as someone who did pure applied physics for 4 years?? I know you will have the same honours degree but will you cover the same amount of material??

    Thanks,
    James.

    Yes absolutely, there are some optional physics modules that you'll be able to choose (e.g astrophysics, environmental physics), but they'll be the same options as someone in the denominated applied physics course. The core modules, (there are 4 in 2nd year, 6 in 3rd year) are all compulsory if you choose to continue on with physics in an undenominated degree.

    for example, you can look for yourself and compare the choices you'll have in the undenominated course compared to the denominated course for 3rd year in the science handbooks Denominated programs and undenominated.

    The handbooks for 1st, 2nd and 4th year are also floating around on the NUIG site somewhere..
