BSc (Hons) Advanced Therapeutic Technologies

The BSc in Advanced Therapeutic Technologies is at the forefront of science degrees in Ireland. It is a broad, diverse and innovative programme that introduces students to the (bio)pharma eco system and biomedical science. This four-year science degree was designed in collaboration with national and multinational biopharma companies who provided their industry expertise to support the design of a curriculum that would address critical skills gaps. During your studies, you will learn about each step of the drug lifecycle process, adding in advanced therapeutics and technologies, the use of AI (artificial intelligence) in disease diagnosis, treatment and surgery, biomedical science, data analytics and the new discipline of precision medicine that personalises treatment for patients based on molecular features of their disease and background. You will carry out research with RCSI faculty involved in cutting-edge discoveries in areas such as cancer, immunology, tissue engineering, genetics, cellular biology, data analytics and biomedical science.
