所有物质和生物都是由原子和分子组成的，它们以许多不同的方式连接在一起。化学是对这些化合物，它们如何形成和反应的研究。生命，新陈代谢，药物，法医分析以及新能源，计算机芯片和医疗设备的开发：如果没有化学方法，就无法充分开发或理解这些内容。
All materials and living things consist of atoms that are linked together in many different ways in molecules. Chemistry is a study of these molecules, how they form and react. Life, metabolism, pharmaceuticals, forensic analysis and the development of new energy supplies, computer chips and medical devices: none of these can be fully developed or understood without chemistry. Chemistry is one of the degree subjects available through the Chemistry stream in the common entry Science course.<br><br>Students study similar modules for all degree subjects in the Chemistry stream in first year and will study modules for a minimum of two degree subjects in second year. At the end of second year, students choose their degree major. Assuming students meet all the academic requirements in first and second year, students are guaranteed a degree subject from the stream they are studying in second year. We do our best to ensure that students go on to study their top degree subject choice. As we offer plenty of degree subjects in each stream, students have a number of similar degree subjects to choose from as their degree major. This is a sample set of modules that a Chemistry student could study each year in UCD.<br><br>Length of Course:<br>4 Years
