Profile
Timber technologists are highly skilled technical professionals occupying a range of positions in businesses in the large and growing Forest Product Sector. Enterprise Ireland predicts the sector will grow from 12,000 to 20,000 people in the next ten years. The increased focus on sustainability and sustainable timber products, the large increase in the Irish forest harvest, and increased demand for high quality timber products in Ireland and the UK, are driving this growth. This immersive, full-time programme will develop a wide range of skills and knowledge, preparing you for the challenges of this exciting, growing sector. Timber Technologists play central roles in the many stages of conversion of wooden logs, thinnings, and woodfibre into high quality timber products that meet demanding technical and environmental standards. These products range from boards and planks (to be used in construction or furniture) to wood pellets and fencing, and from fitted kitchens and large-volume furniture manufacturing to beautifully crafted timber artefacts.TU838 BSc (Honours) Sustainable Timber Technology has been developed from, and replaces, B.Tech in Timber Product Technology. It is a full-time, full-immersion programme featuring a mix of theoretical and skills-based modules (see module lists below). The programme is taught in the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, with a direct impact on many SDG Targets (e.g., Targets 9.4 and 12.2). Cross-sectoral skills (such as critical thinking, creativity, management, collaboration, and professionalism) are an important part of the programme, supporting the central focus on wood science, timber skills, and production management. The programme has strong links with industry, and work placement takes place in the sixth semester. Field trips and guest lectures supplement the academic content of the programme. Through their choice of elective modules, work placement and thesis the student will develop a unique mix of skills and knowledge to ensure employment in the part of the Forest Products Sector that interests them most.
