New Leaving Certificate subject specifications were introduced in September 2025 to all Irish schools in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Each student is now tasked with undertaking their own “Additional Assessment Component” (AAC) – a laboratory-based research investigation, worth 40 per cent, in each subject.
