1. Some pathways share modules (BO201 and/
or BO202). These two modules can only be
counted once in credit accumulation. When
choosing two or more pathways containing
these shared modules, please select additional Single Pathways exempt from the 2 Pathways
requirement are: Applied Mathematics, Chemistry
elective(s) to compensate for this double
(40 Credits), Computer Science, Earth and Ocean
counting.
Science (40 Credits), Mathematics (40 Credits),
Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (60 Credits),
2. Similarly, credit cannot be accumulated for
elective modules that are also included as part Mathematical Studies and Computer Science (60
Credits), Physics and Applied Physics (40 Credits)
of a pathway.

Allocation of 2nd Year Pathway/Elective Places:
Progression to 4th Year:
In 2nd Year, there is a capacity limit on the places available in each pathway/elective.
Students are allocated their pathways based on their overall 1st Year results and
submitted pathway preferences for 2nd Year.
Every student who achieves an overall result of pass in their third year examinations will be
guaranteed a place in the fourth year of the programme. However, students are not necessarily
guaranteed their first choice of subject.
Details on the Procedure/Guidelines for allocating places is in the Student Guide
issued to all 1st Year students and available on the web:
http://www.nuigalway.ie/science/documents/1st_yr_science_handbook_1314.pdf
If a student achieves 45% overall in his/her third year examinations at the first sitting, he/she will be
guaranteed his/her first choice of pathway.
If a student achieves less than 45% overall in his/her third year examinations, he/she will be
allocated a pathway from the major pathways taken in third year.
