All Science courses teach you to think logically and analytically as well as encouraging you to become inventive and imaginative.

These are all skills that are highly valued by employers and consequently there is hardly a career you can't do if you follow a Science degree course.

Many graduates in Science have progressed to the top jobs in business and industry because their studies have encouraged them to be versatile and independent while having gained a firm knowledge base in the chosen subject.

• Direct entry to a professional career such as teaching, as a qualified pharmacist, or into the chemical, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries as well as food, sports, microelectronics, computing, healthcare and recreational services and many other science-based industries in the Irish economy.
• Progression to more specialised courses and higher degrees, which lead to employment in industry, business, hospitals, research institutes or higher education colleges and universities.
• Entry to other careers such as business management, banking, information technology, accountancy, publishing, and insurance industries.

Whichever route Science graduates take, their most important characteristics will be to remain flexible and willing to change direction as necessary and to add new dimensions to their skills base in the future. These are the qualities of the best Science graduates and we are confident that if you follow any of the Science programmes we offer you will be making an extremely worthwhile investment in your future.
