The Bachelor of Science (Honours) Physical Sciences (Common Entry) at Munster Technological University is designed for aspiring scientists who are keen to explore the foundational principles of both chemistry and physics before committing to a specialised degree. You will engage with core scientific disciplines, including modules in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and Computing, providing a comprehensive introduction to general science by the end of your first semester. This common entry pathway is ideal if you are undecided about a specific physical science discipline and wish to experience both fields before making your final choice, ensuring a well-informed decision for your future studies.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is studied over four years, beginning with a common first semester that allows you to experience a range of scientific disciplines. At the end of semester one, you will choose to specialise in either chemistry or physics for the remainder of your studies. Throughout the course, you will engage with laboratory practices, instrument measurement, and technological mathematics, developing practical skills alongside theoretical knowledge. You will graduate with a solid foundation in physical sciences, prepared for further study or careers in scientific research and development.
