Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomolecular Science

In the BSc (Honours) in Biomolecular Science at TU Dublin, learning is strongly hands-on. You’ll spend much of your time in modern laboratories, developing the practical and research skills used in real biomolecular and biopharmaceutical settings, and you’ll complete an independent research project that reflects how professional scientists work.

This practical learning is built into the programme through:

• Specialist biomolecular and microbiology laboratories on TU Dublin’s Grangegorman campus, where you apply advanced molecular biology and biochemistry techniques

• A final-year Research Project, supported by Research Methods and Data Analysis, where you design experiments, analyse results, and present scientific findings

• BioEnterprise, linking science with industry and showing how biomolecular research translates into commercial and healthcare applications

• Pathway options that let you focus on areas such as biopharmaceutical product development or molecular mechanisms of disease

• Access to TU Dublin’s research facilities and learning resources, supporting advanced laboratory work and scientific study

Graduates of the BSc (Hons) in Biomolecular Science move into roles across the bioscience and biopharmaceutical sectors, including laboratory technologist, research assistant, quality analyst, and biotechnology associate. The programme gives you strong laboratory and research skills that employers value, while also keeping the door open to postgraduate study:

• Career Development Centre support: TU Dublin’s Career Development Centre offers one-to-one career guidance, CV and interview support, careers fairs, and employer networking to help you secure graduate roles.

• Industry-relevant outcomes: Graduates are prepared for work in biotechnology, biopharma, diagnostics, healthcare research, and laboratory environments in Ireland and internationally.

• Recognised qualification: This Level 8 honours degree is widely recognised and supports long-term career progression in scientific and technical roles.

Further Academic Progression:

After graduation, many students progress to Master’s programmes or research degrees (PhD) in biomolecular science, biotechnology, and related fields, either at TU Dublin or other universities, building on the strong research foundation gained during the honours year.
