Exploring Lab Science at SETU

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.Our panel for this episode features four ProgrammeLeaders from SETU Waterford:- 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 ModernTechnology- Eleanor Owens – Programme Leader for Pharmaceutical ScienceThe podcast is hosted by Rob O’Connor fromthe School of Science & Computing.Discussion HighlightsA high-level overview of the laboratory science programmes at SETUInsights into the individual specialisms: Physics, PharmaceuticalScience, Food Science, and Molecular BiologyExploration of the laboratory-based aspects of these programmes and their practical applicationsCareer pathways and employment opportunities for graduates in these fieldsBroader discussions on the scientific disciplines and the skills essential for success in these areasWhile the episode focuses on SETU-specific programmes, much of the discussion is universally applicable to anyone with an interest in science.Additional ResourcesFor any questions or further information, we encourage you to reach out to our panel members.
