Science & Mathematics

Science and Mathematics are among the oldest subjects. School leavers who go on to study Science or Maths at university follow in the footsteps (or if you prefer, stand on the shoulders) of great names from history such as Archimedes, Newton, Galileo and Einstein. Science and Maths courses usually allow students to gain a broad knowledge of their subject in the first year, before going to on to specialise in a particular area. Courses can be theoretical (studying abstract theories) or applied (putting these theories to practical use). Science is concerned with gaining knowledge through experimentation, so science students (especially those studying Biology and Chemistry) usually spend a lot of time in the laboratory, wearing white coats and protective goggles. Mathematics and Physics are usually more theoretical, and these students are more likely to find themselves in front of a computer testing models and theories. As Ireland looks to establish a knowledge economy and attract high-value industries, fresh areas of scientific endeavour are becoming popular. Universities often have links with local industry – and taking courses and subjects such as biotechnology, fluid mechanics or pharmaceuticals can lead to work placements, or even directly to work straight from graduation. It is worth checking out college prospectuses and company web sites to find out who has links with whom. Before you do that, read this section to learn which scientific course and career options are best for you.
