The Forensic and Environmental Analysis course is an analytical chemistry programme specialising in forensic and environmental topics. Graduates will have a rigorous scientific training, be good at problem solving and have expert laboratory skills suitable for any career in the Forensic or Environmental sector as well as Pharmaceutical / Chemical industries.
If you are interested in pursuing this course of study, you will need an aptitude for science as well as an analytical mind, a logical perspective, and an interest in solving problems. The fi rst year of the programme provides a good foundation in science as well as an introductory module on forensic and environmental chemistry. In second year, the relevant core chemistry topics are taught as well as some specialised modules in forensic and environmental analysis.
In the final two years, the emphasis is on forensic and environmental analysis and includes case studies and development of team-work and critical analysis skills. A six month work placement features between years 3 and 4. The programme is recognised by the appropriate professional bodies (Royal Society of Chemistry and Institute of Chemistry of Ireland).
Contents
Year One
The first year of the programme is designed to establish a solid foundation across the sciences with modules in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Professional Development. An introductory module in Forensic and Environmental Chemistry is included along with hands-on activities in these areas.
Year Two
The year provides students with a broad knowledge and understanding of the various branches of Chemistry (Analytical, Physical, Organic and Inorganic). In addition, modules in forensic and environmental analysis are provided which build upon the core chemistry content.
Year Three & Four
Over the final two years of the programme, advanced modules in forensic and environmental analysis are delivered featuring realistic case-studies and developing team-working and critical analysis skills. There is a hands-on approach in the use of modern instrumentation including chromatographic (high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatographymass spectrometry) and spectroscopic (infrared, ultraviolet/ visible, nuclear magnetic resonance, atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma) techniques.
A key feature in Year three of the programme is the Work Placement, which begins in Semester 2. Students undertake a six-month work placement in an industrial environment which provides valuable experience in applying the knowledge and skills obtained in a real-life setting.
In Year four, there is a final year project which allows students to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and initiative on a research topic.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
