Profile
Biomedical Science is the science related to medical conditions—their causes, diagnosis, and treatment. Molecular diagnostics is the use and development of novel technologies to enable faster and more personalized diagnosis, often using DNA-based approaches.
A unique feature of the program is the way diagnostic and analytical sciences are integrated with bioproduct design and development. It also includes modules on transferable skills such as basic programming and bioinformatics.
In Years 3 and 4, semester-long work placements and research projects provide an invaluable opportunity for you to gain real-life skills and experience, and to apply academic knowledge in a real-world setting.
Year 1 covers the core sciences and introduces you to Biomedical Science and Molecular Diagnostics. In Year 2, you’ll further study Biochemistry and Cell and Molecular Biology, together with modules in Biomedical Science disciplines as well as Bioinformatics and Biostatistics modules. In Year 3, you will undertake a 14-week professional work placement in an industry or research organization, and also study Biosensor and Bioproduct Development, an integrated topic supported by modules in genetic engineering, pharmacology and toxicology, and data analytics.
In the final year, you’ll study core modules in Molecular Diagnostic as applied to Microbiology, Oncology (Cancer) and Genetics, and in Point of Care Diagnostics, and will prepare for your future career with entrepreneurship and bioindustry skills.
Finally, in your final year, you’ll undertake a 12-week research project, based in TU Dublin, in industry laboratories/organizations, or in national and international research centers (under the Erasmus/Socrates scheme).
