Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Chemistry & Mathematics Education / MSc] From University College Dublin

The Chemistry & Mathematics Education (Hons) / MSc is offered by UCD College of Science. It?s designed so that from the start, you study chemistry and mathematics, along with education, in an integrated manner. In third year, you?ll gain teaching experience by completing placements (which we find for you) in a post-primary school and as a thirdlevel tutor. The four-year BSc in Chemistry, Mathematics and Education leads directly to the one-year MSc in Mathematics and Science Education. On completion of both degrees you are fully qualified to teach Chemistry and Mathematics to Higher Level Leaving Certificate Level and Science to Junior Certificate Level.
