Pre-University Science

This course has been specifically designed to meet the needs of students who wish to study science to degree level in university. The course will cater for three different groups of learners:

• Students who did not obtain the required Leaving Certificate points for their chosen Science course,
• Students who wish to acquire a foundation in Science subject areas and Mathematics before entry to University,
• Adult returnees to education.
