Customise Your Own Degree
Students tell us that they love the flexibility of the UCD curriculum. This flexibility is made possible by the UCD Horizons Programme giving students the opportunity to explore areas that interest them beyond the scope of their course. This means that you can adapt your degree to your personal preferences. Each modular meets international standard making it much easier if you want to study abroad for part of your degree.
How does it work?
Each course is made up of 12 modules (60 credits) per year. Every module is worth five credits. Each year, you study 10 modules (or 50 credits) that are related to your course and the remaining 2 modules (or 10 credits) are ‘elective’ modules.
These allow you to customise your own degree, so you can choose elective modules either from the course you are studying to deepen your knowledge or from any course we offer in UCD.
Among the wide range of choices available, you will see exciting Discovery modules that look at current and future issues of national and global importance. These Discovery modules will combine teaching and learning across more than one subject, in areas where UCD is leading on international research.
