Students who have not taken Technical Drawing to Junior Certificate level may initially find the subject difficult as they are lacking the fundamentals of the subject. Complementary subjects : Physics, Applied Maths, Engineering, Technology. - [Construction Studies](https://www.hewittcollege.ie/product/construction-studies/) - CONSTRUCTION STUDIES | Higher Level | Full Time Construction Studies is a “hands-on” subject, which involves working with tools and machinery on materials like wood, metals and plastic. It is the study of buildings and the built environment. Examination of the subject has three components; a practical exam, (allocated 25% of the overall marks), a student project (allocated 25% of the overall marks) and a theory-based examination sat in June, as part of the main timetabled Leaving Certificate examinations. The final examination investigates topics such as heat and thermal effects, illumination and substructure/superstructure. This is an excellent subject for a practically-minded student who has a keen interest in buildings. The theory is not complex and relates to examples taken from everyday life. Having studied Woodwork at Junior Certificate level is an advantage but is not necessary. This is a very achievable course to cover in one year. Construction Studies is also a popular choice for students as an extra subject. Complementary Subjects: Art, Design and Communication Graphics, Home Economics (as there is a Home Design elective). - [Chemistry](https://www.hewittcollege.ie/product/chemistry/) - CHEMISTRY | Higher Level | Full Time | Courses Chemistry is a very popular option here at Hewitt College, as it opens up a wide range of STEM courses and careers to our students.

The vast majority of students in Hewitt College study at least one Science subject with Biology being a popular choice. The course is diverse and covers everything from Cell Biology to the Human Body to Ecology and Plants. It is a subject that requires lots of learning. However, at Hewitt College, most of the course is covered in 5th year, which allows students ample time to revise and reinforce course content. Our students are regularly tested on the material, ensuring that they don’t fall behind. Class examinations and examination paper practice is key to our continued exam success. Biology as an extra subject for students not attending Hewitt College is a very popular option, as it is very achievable to cover the course with one weekly class, particularly for a student beginning in 5th year. As there is no restriction on subject choices at Hewitt College, students that are interested in Science and STEM subjects may choose all or any combination of the following: Agricultural Science, Applied Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics. - [Arts](https://www.hewittcollege.ie/product/arts/) - ARTS | Higher Level | Full Time | Grinds Unlike most other subjects, most of the marks for Leaving Certificate Art have been awarded by the time the June exams come around.
