The Faculty of Science in Dublin Institute of Technology
– join us in helping to shape the future
Science is about pioneering the future shape of society throughout the world. Over the past 500 years science has led to the development of the many
technologies through which humankind now interacts with nature in all its aspects. Science and scientists now infl uence and affect virtually every facet of
modern living. When you choose a career in science, you may rest assured that you will be a key citizen, truly a mover and shaper of society, during the next
half-century.
Within the Faculty of Science in DIT the five Schools – Biological Sciences, Chemical & Pharmaceutical, Computing, Mathematical Sciences and Physics, offer
programmes that lead to exciting careers in these disciplines and in new and vital interdisciplinary areas.
Most undergraduate programmes lead to four-year honours degrees. There are two three-year ordinary degrees and two top-up honours degrees (*)
programmes. Some are designed as part-time programmes but in the modularised system you may choose to take any programme on a part-time basis.
The postgraduate taught programmes and research programmes cater for your career ambitions at many stages in your life. Taught MSc programmes are
normally of 1 year duration. Postgraduate research in Science is vigorous, with over 100 postgraduate students and 10 postdoctoral fellows.
The highly interdisciplinary programmes in the Faculty, set out below, outline its three particular areas of strength in the (1) Biomedical/Paramedical, (2)
Analytical/ Environmental/Materials Science, and (3) Computing/Information Technology/ Mathematics areas.
If you wish to build your career in one of these broad areas of Science, plan to do so in one of these programmes in our Faculty of Science in Dublin. |
