    Looking at a few,
    Wondering if there's any past students or people that know anything about me can inform me about any of the following courses or suggest any to me...

    Pharmaceutical and Chemical Engineering - UL
    Industrial Biochemistry - UL
    Science - UL
    Science - Pharmaceutical & Forensic Analysis - LIT
    Science Pharmaceutical - WIT
    Sciences - Biological & Chemical - UCC
    Sciences - Chemical
    Biopharmaceutical Chemistry - NUI Galway
    Chemical Sciences with Medicinal Chemistry - DIT
    Science - Education - DCU
    Sciences - Chemical & Pharmaceutical - DCU

    Just a few there, any comments will be massively appreciated :D

    As back up gna put an arts or two and a law maybe near the bottom but prioritising sciences I reckon.

    How much Biology is in it,
    I'm doing the subject at the moment HL but struggling,
    I might improve, studying and that,
    But what portion of the course would it take up?
    And what aspects of Biology does it cover?

    The course overall has 60 credits. 20 for Biology, 15 for Chemistry, 15 for Physics and 10 for Maths.

    We have 4 Biology modules:

    http://www.ucc.ie/modules/descriptions/BL.html#BL1003

    http://www.ucc.ie/modules/descriptions/BL.html#BL1004

    http://www.ucc.ie/modules/descriptions/BL.html#BL1005

    Each of these are worth 5 credits each. Bascially you'll be covering the full LC Biology course again just in more detail. With a name like Biological and Chemical Sciences the course of obviously going to be largely focused on Biology. If your looking to do Chemistry in college I'd recommend doing Chemical Sciences. More Chemistry and less Biology.

    ^^ That is Biochem in a nutshell for you after 1st year. More options for you in the area of Chemistry if your willing to work with the Biology for a year.

    Good luck and hope I've covered everything! Any more questions feel free to mail me! :)
