Cognitive Science Courses
What is Cognitive Science? Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of human behaviour and intelligence, with a focus on how information is perceived, processed and transformed. The field draws from anthropology, biology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy and sociology to learn how the mind determines behaviour. What 3rd level courses are available? Universities and colleges in Ireland […]
Bacteriology Courses
What is Bacteriology? Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that thrive in diverse environments. These organisms can live in soil, the ocean and inside the human gut. Bacteriology is the scientific study of microscopic organisms and bacteria and their effects on humans and animals. Bacteriologists monitor the ecology, metabolism and reproduction of these organisms. Bacteriologists may work […]
Clinical Trials Courses
What is a Clinical Trial? A clinical trial is a research study conducted using human volunteers with the goal of answering specific questions about new therapies, vaccines or diagnostic procedures, or new ways of using known treatments. Clinical trials are used to determine whether new drugs, diagnostics or treatments are both safe and effective. Carefully […]
Language Science Courses
What is Language Science? Language Science is the name for a broad field of study that integrates social and biological sciences with computer science and engineering, plus strong roots in humanities, education, and clinical fields. The scope of Language Sciences includes the study of the formal structure of language, processing and acquisition at different levels such as phonology, […]
Immunotherapeutics Courses
What is Immunotherapeutics? The immune system helps your body fight infections and other diseases. It is made up of white blood cells and organs and tissues of the lymph system. Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that helps your immune system fight diseases like cancer by boosting the body’s natural defences. It uses substances made by […]
Medical Physics Courses
What is Medical Physics? Medical Physics is a branch of applied physics that employs physical concepts for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease. The work of a Medical Physicist involves the use of radioisotopes, x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic and electric fields in diagnosis and therapy. Most medical physicists work in hospital diagnostic imaging departments, […]
Geophysics Courses
What is Geophysics? Geophysics is the study of the physical processes of the Earth through the use of physics and mathematics – and applying this to our understanding of the Earth. Geophysics is the study of Earth’s physical characteristics, including the solid planet, the atmosphere, and bodies of water. Geophysical investigations often draw upon information […]
Astronomy Courses
What is Astronomy? Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe that is beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. This includes objects we can see with our naked eyes such as the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars as well as objects we can only see with telescopes or other instruments, like faraway galaxies […]
Medicinal Chemistry
What is Medicinal Chemistry? Medicinal Chemistry is the creation and refinement of molecules for the purpose of creating or improving pharmaceutical drugs. Medicinal chemistry is a combination of applied and basic sciences. It encompasses the discovery, development, identification, and interpretation of active compounds at the molecular level. A medicinal or pharmaceutical chemist researches and creates chemical compounds for use as medicines. […]
Physics and Astrophysics Courses
What is Astrophysics? Astronomy is the study of the universe, its objects and how it works. Astrophysics is the branch of Astronomy that applies the laws of physics and chemistry to explain the birth, life and death of stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae and other objects in the universe. The universe can be defined as anything outside of the […]
Science Courses
What is Science? Science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. People who study science are called scientists and science can be broken up into many different areas and specialties. Mathematics and logic are known as formal sciences. The physical sciences include physics, […]
Theoretical Physics Courses
What is Theoretical Physics? The aim of physics is to discover and understand the laws of causes and effects. Theoretical Physics is the science of making sense of the laws governing nature and understanding the world around us and all aspects of objects and their interactions. Theoretical physicists do not conduct experiments or observe nature […]
Zoology: Biological and Biomedical Sciences Courses
What is Zoology: Biological and Biomedical Sciences? Zoology is the branch of biology concerned with the classification, properties, and characteristics of animals and the scientific study of the evolution, anatomy, physiology, behavior, habitats, and health of animals and humans. Zoologists are professionals who study a variety of animal species and are largely responsible for the […]
Agricultural Science Courses
What is Agricultural Science? Agriculture is the art and science of growing crops and rearing animals for human use – such as cotton for clothing, wood for shelter and fuel, plants and roots for medicines, materials for biofuels, and also as an industry that provides incomes and livelihoods to many. Agricultural science is the science […]
