Course Overview

Students achieve a detailed and understanding of the science underpinning the forensic, pharmaceutical, and analytical fields. Students will gain exposure to, and experience in, the methodology and techniques at the forefront of these major scientific areas.

In LIT, we place an emphasis on “hands-on work” (approximately 50% of scheduled coursework), endowing our graduates with a highly desirable and much sought-after set of skills and expertise: experience in the pharmaceutical and forensic science combined with a range of analytical techniques, which make graduates highly sought after by employers. Since the beginning of this programme, selected student(s) have been employed each year by the State Laboratory for their work placement.

Career Prospects

Career prospects are diverse - with graduates holding public and private sector jobs in state labs, healthcare, the pharmaceutical industry, analyst labs and more. The employment record of our graduates within Ireland has been excellent and our graduates have also obtained positions in UK, North America, USA, and Australia.
