Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, known as microorganisms or microbes, that are usually invisible to the naked eye, including bacteria, protozoa, fungi, viruses and prions. Several modern scientific disciplines including genetic engineering, genomics, bioinformatics, microbial biotechnology, immunology and molecular biology originated from classical microbiology and therefore form an integral part of the teaching and research of microbiology at TUS. An industrial placement during the third year of the programme provides an opportunity to gain valuable experience and establish direct links with industry. 

The BSc (Hons) in Forensic & Pharmaceutical Science is a unique interdisciplinary course providing students with a detailed knowledge and understanding of the sciences in areas of forensics, pharmaceutical and analytical techniques. This course thus produces graduates who are highly employable in a broad range of sectors. Students gain valuable hands-on experience in the methodology and techniques at the forefront of these major sectors and develop transferable skills including problem solving, communicating, and defending scientific data, evidence interpretation, time management and team building.

This programme has been developed in conjunction with people working in the industries that employ our graduates. We aim to produce graduates who understand how medicines and healthcare products, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals, are manufactured and checked to make sure they are safe, effective, and of a high quality. Drug and Medicinal Product Analysis is a highly relevant programme that leads to excellent job prospects. 

Pharmacology is the branch of science concerned with the study of how drugs interact with cells, tissues, and organisms. This course promotes the development of flexible interpersonal skills essential for effective interaction and engagement with colleagues in the working world. This is achieved through the implementation of team-based learning strategies in specific modules.  

This unique Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences (APS) internationally accredited programme provides the essential information and skills required for employment in the pharmaceutical sector. Given the wide range of disciplines required in driving modern manufacturing approaches this multidisciplinary course covers chemical-based and next generation biotech-based therapeutics and their formulation into safe and effective medicines of high and durable quality. 

Bioveterinary science is dedicated to the investigation of life processes and exploring the inter-relationships of living organisms. This degree emphasizes specific technologies, interactions and/or systems (e.g. animal behaviour, biochemistry, biotechnology), or the environments that living organisms inhabit (e.g. ecology, environmental biology). 

The Medical Technology programme is a fusion of science and engineering subjects, applied to diagnostic, treatment and lifesaving medical devices and technology, that push the boundaries of medical science. If you are interested in engineering, science and technology and the medical applications of these disciplines, this honours degree could be for you. Typical applicants will be those who have an interest in engineering and science and want a career in helping others. 

The aim of this course is to produce graduates with knowledge and skills in agriculture with a focus on sustainability. While the course provides the students with a sound theoretical basis for understanding complex agricultural and environmental phenomena within a sustainable development context, its focus is on the practical application of knowledge and skills including agri‑business and on‑farm settings.

This course involves the study of theoretical and practice based modules. It involves classroom teaching and taught placements in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings. This honours degree programme takes advantage of the various areas of expertise available at the three regional hospitals in the Health Service Executive Midlands area in Tullamore, Portlaoise and Mullingar, throughout the Midlands (Laois/Offaly and Longford/Westmeath) and with private healthcare facilities nationally. 

This programme aims to enable students to develop knowledge, competencies, attitudes and skills to enable them to function effectively as professional nurses in a healthcare environment providing recovery focused individualised care. The programme provides opportunities for development of the fundamental nursing skills and allows the student to adapt these skills to a variety of populations and environments. It will foster and nurture the ethos for the student around the necessity for the continuation of professional development throughout their career. 

This course is suitable for those interested in the professional side of the Construction Industry.

The Quantity Surveyor acts within both accountancy and legal frameworks. This 4 year programme offers specialisms in Building Information Management (BIM) and in the area of Mechanical and Electrical Services Cost Management. These are areas of significant growth in the Irish construction industry, particularly in sectors such as Data Centre Development, Pharmaceutical, Agri-food and large scale commercial projects. 

The profession of quantity surveying is at the forefront of construction economics and management. This honours degree programme has been developed in partnership with industry and is unique in providing a 12 month work placement for students in year 3 of the programme. The placement programme called the ‘Active Learning Year’ is organised by TUS and its industry partners. 

This is a four year honours degree programme incorporating three academic years and one full year of industrial work placement in third year. The aim of the programme is to develop a property professional who possesses the knowledge, skills and competencies required to work in the diverse sectors of the property industry such as valuation, estate agency, marketing, property management, investment, development, corporate real estate, research and land-use planning.

This is a one year common entry stage to the honours degree programmes in the Built Environment. Successful completion of this Common Entry Year leads to admission to Stage 2 of the following programmes, subject to availability of places:

• BSc (Hons) in Quantity Surveying;
• BSc (Hons) In Property Valuation & Management;
• BSc(Hons) in Construction Management;
• B.Sc. (Hons) in Civil Engineering Management

This programme is offered on the CAO in addition to the four existing Level 8 honours degrees in the Department of the Built Environment. 

This course is suitable for those interested in the professional side of the construction industry. The course will cover core areas of construction management, including Building Information Modelling (BIM),modern construction technology, lean project management and modern construction procurement and contract management. 

Construction Management is all about managing the construction process and meeting the needs of clients within legal, financial and environmental constraints. Construction Managers require a combination of engineering knowledge, good business and organisation skills and a capacity for leadership in managing the building process. You will develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the construction process and the necessary theoretical knowledge to match solutions to construction problems; the management skills to plan, organise and manage construction projects and the ability to contribute to the construction process in a manner that sustains and enhances the natural and the built environments.
