In this episode, we provide an in-depth exploration of the laboratory science programmes available at South East Technological University (SETU) 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.
\nOur panel for this episode features four Programme\nLeaders from SETU Waterford:
\n- Elaine Duggan – Programme Leader for Food Science and Innovation
\n- Nabla Kennedy – Programme Leader for Molecular Biology with Biopharmaceutical Science
\n- Joe Murphy – Programme Leader for Physics for Modern\nTechnology
\n- Eleanor Owens – Programme Leader for Pharmaceutical Science
\nThe podcast is hosted by Rob O’Connor from\nthe School of Science & Computing.
\nDiscussion Highlights
\nA high-level overview of the laboratory science programmes at SETU
\nInsights into the individual specialisms: Physics, Pharmaceutical\nScience, Food Science, and Molecular Biology
\nExploration of the laboratory-based aspects of these programmes and their practical applications
\nCareer pathways and employment opportunities for graduates in these fields
\nBroader discussions on the scientific disciplines and the skills essential for success in these areas
