In this episode, we provide an in-depth exploration of the laboratory science programmes available at South East Technological University's campus in Waterford.
This discussion is particularly relevant for first-year Science students, especially those considering their options for specialisation. Additionally, the episode will be of interest to prospective students - whether school leavers, mature students, or individuals exploring science as a career path. Finally, it serves as a resource for anyone with a general interest in the scientific disciplines.
Our panel for this episode features four of SETU's Programme Leaders:
- Elaine Duggan: Programme Leader for Food Science and Innovation
- Nabla Kennedy: Programme Leader for Molecular Biology with Biopharmaceutical Science
- Joe Murphy: Programme Leader for Physics for Modern Technology
- Eleanor Owens: Programme Leader for Pharmaceutical Science
The podcast is hosted by Rob O’Connor from the School of Science & Computing.
Discussion highlights
- A high-level overview of the laboratory science programmes at SETU
- Insights into the individual specialisms: Physics, Pharmaceutical Science, Food Science, and Molecular Biology
- Exploration of the laboratory-based aspects of these programmes and their practical applications
- Career pathways and employment opportunities for graduates in these fields
- Broader discussions on the scientific disciplines and the skills essential for success in these areas
- While the episode focuses on SETU-specific programmes, much of the discussion is universally applicable to anyone with an interest in science.
