Public Health Nutrition involves the promotion of good health through nutrition and the primary prevention of nutrition-related illness in the population. It focuses on applying food and nutrition knowledge, policy and research to improving the nutritional health of the population and high-risk or vulnerable subgroups within the population.

This public health nutrition degree has an international perspective. It examines how global, national and local community programmes can be designed to improve the nutritional status of the population as a whole and those at particular risk.

Optometry is a regulated primary healthcare profession. Optometrists are often the first professional to be consulted when an eye problem presents. Optometrists check vision and prescribe and fit spectacles and contact lenses as needed. For children or adults with problems coordinating their eyes, optometrists carry out patching and other forms of vision therapy to help people develop and maintain binocular vision.

Dietitians apply knowledge of food, nutrition and other disciplines such as biochemistry, physiology and social science to promote health, prevent disease and help to manage illness.

This course offers you an integrated training in the science of nutrition and dietetics, and its applications to human health and well-being both at the individual and community level.

In this course, you’ll study issues such as food safety, environmental pollution, occupational safety and health risk management, and how these should be managed.

In this course (which is unique in the country), you’ll learn how to measure and image the physiological activity of the human body and provide diagnostic information to medical staff.

As well as learning through traditional lectures, you’ll gain extensive practical experience, including placement in a hospital. It’s not necessary to have studied physics before entry.

Medical Science is the science related to medical conditions, their causes, diagnosis and treatment. This course provides multi-disciplinary training and clinical laboratory placement in all Biomedical Science disciplines, so that you may work in any of the following areas in pathology: Clinical Chemistry, Clinical Immunology, Clinical Cytology, Cellular Pathology, Haematology, Medical Microbiology, Molecular Diagnostics, and Transfusion Science.

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 personalised diagnosis, often using DNA-based approaches.

A unique feature of the course is the way diagnostic and analytical sciences are integrated with bioproduct design and development. It also includes modules in transferable skills such as basic programming and bioinformatics.

Learn with the People who develop the best in the world! TU Dublin has been a leader in the delivery of Cloud courses for a number of years working closely with Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, global leaders in public cloud computing. The best in the world have developed their skills with us, in August 2019 a TU Dublin graduate won the coveted Gold Medal at the World Skills Competition for Cloud Computing in Kazan Russia.

Forensic science is the application of scientific knowledge and techniques in support of the legal process. The application of DNA technologies in forensics, and a wide range of industries and the state laboratories, has increased hugely. The application of scientific knowledge and techniques is of growing significance in legal cases in the real world as well as in fiction, but there is also an increasing demand in many industries for the skills of an analyst in biotechnology and forensics, so this course may lead you to an exciting career. 

This course will provide you with an all-round perspective on information security risk and risk management. It is designed to produce highly knowledgeable and skilled graduates to counter the growing cyber security threat facing the world today. Graduates are in high demand in all parts of the Information Technology sector, as security is one of the fastest-growing parts of the industry. 

Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence are cornerstones of the next wave in ICT. IDA Ireland is pursuing an AI Island strategy set to attract the brightest and best AI players to work in Ireland.
