• An analytical chemist is trained to use modern analytical techniques and instruments to develop strategies to detect, identify and quantify substances such as the pollutants in air and water, illegal substances in suspicious powders and the active pharmaceutical ingredients in medicinal products.
  • This programme, which includes rigorous scientific training and a six-month work placement, will make students work-ready.
  • In Year 1,  introduced to forensic, pharmaceutical and environmental chemistry. All science subjects are taught on the basis that  may not have studied them at Leaving Certificate.
  • Year 2 includes the core chemistry topics and specialised modules in analytical, forensic and environmental chemistry. In the final two years, the emphasis is on analytical chemistry and environmental, forensic and pharmaceutical applications. The six-month work placement in Year 3 and the year 4 research project will benefit students greatly. Thus, graduates are work-ready problem-solvers with excellent laboratory skills.
