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 programme focuses on agricultural science, agri-business, agricultural engineering and agricultural systems. Students will develop knowledge in areas such as sensing technology, electro-pneumatics, electro-hydraulics, automation, Agribusiness, management, marketing and product pricing.

Agricultural Systems Technology is aimed at students who wish to learn how to build, develop, and manage technology for the agriculture sector. Students will gain a deep understanding of how to use technology in order to improve and enhance sustainability, efficiency and reliability in farming and food production. You will take classes in engineering, science, mathematics and data science. Upon completing the course, you will be uniquely equipped to build, develop and manage technologies such as computer systems, networks, data management and sensors, machinery systems and precision agriculture.

The course develops farming, business and management skills to enable graduates to follow careers as successful commercial farmers or in the agri-business sector. It will provide graduates with the skills they will need to be able to participate actively in policy decisions – whether they are local, regional or international – which will influence their profession and its role in a modern economy. 

This course is run jointly by SETU and Teagasc. Students take agriculture-based modules at Kildalton Agricultural College and scientific related modules are taken at Cork Road Campus, Waterford. A free bus service operates between Cork Road Campus, Waterford and Kildalton.

Agriculture is of major importance to the Irish economy and most farms are family-operated with the farmer being the owner and manager and operator. The first two years of the course concentrates on equipping the student with the knowledge and skills needed to manage a modern commercial farm. The third year aims to expand the student’s business, managerial, scientific and IT skills.

This degree is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to manage modern commercial farms. The first two years focus on practical farming skills, while the third year enhances business, managerial, scientific, and IT competencies. Students undertake a 12-week farm placement in the second year, gaining hands-on experience on high-quality commercial farms. Graduates are prepared for roles in farm management, agrifood cooperatives, meat processing, and agribusiness sales.

Our Bachelor of Science in Agriculture provides you with the skills and knowledge to pursue a diverse and rewarding career in the agricultural industry. Whether it’s as a farm manager or in agricultural sales, the opportunities are vast and diverse. You’ll be gaining knowledge in the key areas of soil and plant science, ruminant husbandry and agriculture business management. You’ll also learn about Farm Waste and Environmental Science, Livestock Production and Animal Science in Year 3.  

This programme provides you with the range of specialised skills ideal for employment in the agriculture and environmental sectors. Strong emphasis is placed on sustainability in agriculture and the environment. The programme consists of modules in Agriculture, Environmental Management and Agri-business.

The programme consists of modules in Agriculture, Environmental Management and Agri-business. Graduates of the programme can expect to gain employment in a range of areas including farming, agri-foods, environmental management and consultancy, applied ecology and agri-business. This programme is highly practical, with a mixture of lectures, field work, laboratory practicals and Information Technology. 

Aircraft systems engineering is the field of study relating to the maintenance, safety, and airworthiness of aircraft. Aircraft system engineers support the development of on board flight systems, including flight controls. landing gear, electrical power, hydraulics, and avionics systems.

The 3-year programme follows a practical hands-on approach to produce graduates who have the theoretical and practical know how to work within the evolving aerospace and maintenance repair (MRO) industries.

Analytical chemistry deals with the great variety of methods used to identify and quantify the chemical components of materials, while pharmaceutical chemistry focuses on aspects of drug design, synthesis, and manufacture.

An analytical chemist is trained to use modern analytical techniques and instruments to develop strategies to detect, identify and quantify substances such as the pollutants in air and water, illegal substances in suspicious powders and the active pharmaceutical ingredients in medicinal products.

This course, which includes rigorous scientific training and a six-month work placement, will make you work-ready.

Analytical Chemistry is the speciality dealing with devising, selecting, and using methods for determining the identity and quantity of chemical composition of samples such as drugs, medicines, food and beverage, water, air etc.

These have key components that are present at very low levels or concentrations, and many sophisticated techniques have been developed for their detection and analysis.

During this interdisciplinary course, you will  learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of chemical, biochemical and microbiological analysis. In first year, you’ll gain essential background knowledge in chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics, and get hands-on laboratory experience. From second year on, you’ll focus on analytical science and from third year, you’ll specialise in either chemical or biological analysis.

Analytical scientists investigate the chemical nature of substances to identify and understand how they behave in different conditions. In the pharmaceutical industry, for example, analytical scientists are involved throughout the drug manufacturing process to ensure the quality and stability of drug products.

Ancient and Medieval History and Culture concentrates on the period c. 2000 BC to c. 1500 AD. It explores the changes in society, politics, religious practices, and art and architecture that have helped to shape the world we live in.

Over the four years of the programme you will explore topics including the development of different systems of government (from democracy in ancient Greece to monarchy and empire in the Middle Ages), the formation of Europe, ancient and medieval belief systems and religious practices (from the pantheon of ancient deities to the dominance of Christianity), the development of the legal system, and the role of warfare in bringing about change. 

You will enjoy this course if you are interested in studying the history and culture of the Greeks and Romans – their achievements and their profound influence on the modern world – through the complementary study of history and archaeology. You will have the opportunity to get practical experience and take part in Study Tours.

You will study the Greek and Roman worlds by working with historical and literary documents alongside the material remains of ancient sites and artefacts. All material is studied in translation and no knowledge of Greek or Latin is required, but there are opportunities to take introductory modules in the languages.

Ancient History and Archaeology are both concerned with understanding social, political and cultural experience in the past. This course offers you the opportunity to range across these two broad disciplines.
