The School of Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is a thriving
community of just over 500 part-time and full-time
students and 42 academic staff. The programmes are
very practical and focus on the development of skills
relevant to industry and employment as well as
enhancing the learning and research capabilities of
the individual participants. Students benefit from the Instit

ute’s extensive
laboratory and workshop resources and links with
external facilities as well as the broad range of staff
expertise and experience. Courses are offered in the
following areas:
• Agricultural science;
• Pharmaceutical analysis;
• Biological and environmental science;
• Wildlife biology;
• Agricultural engineering;
• Mechanical, electronic, production and
manufacturing engineering and management;
• Energy, the built environment, civil and
environmental engineering. The school places a strong emphasis on professional
and personal development. Our programmes focus on
the practical problem-solving techniques and methods
appropriate to each career. Students have opportunities
to avail of various work placements which introduce the
student to work-based learning and the development
of essential lifelong learning. All of our programmes have a capstone final-year
project which is designed to challenge students on real
industry problems that require the integration of their
knowledge and skills acquired over the course of the
programme. The project work is assessed through a
project report, presentations and a project poster. The school is aligned to research centres located at the
Institute operating in the key areas of biotechnology,
mechatronic and sensor engineering as well as
eco-tourism among others and has developed links and
strategic alliances with regional and national industrial
and educational partners to continue to develop and
enhance programme provision and progression
opportunities.
