      I studied Biology and Environmental Natural Resource Management at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago.

      I studied Environmental Mnagement at Universitat Hohenheim in Stuttgart.
      I studied Soil Science at University of Natural Resources in Vienna.

      I studied Natural Science in Trinity, which involved doing different subjects (chemistry, biology and maths) for the first two years and then specializing in one discipline for the remaining two years. The Science degree in Trinity has since changed to difference courses including biological sciences, earth sciences with are now taught throughout the 4 years of the degree instead of the final two ‘specialised’ years

      I studied Microbiology at Trinity College Dublin. The first two years were just “Science” (as Kate said below) before I specialised for the remaining two years. It’s a really versatile course that I would strongly recommend, as myself and my classmates have since wound up in a wide range of careers e.g. clinical work, pharma, science journalism and academia.

      For my Masters degree, I studied Biotechnology at University College Cork. Great course that involved a six-month work placement with a pharmaceutical company.

      I’m a bit of a homebird. I studied Zoology at University College Cork and then studied Medicine at University College Cork. I swear I’ll leave the nest eventually!

      I studied Natural Science in Trinity College Dublin and then chose Molecular Medicine for my specialization. What that means is that I studied biology, chemistry, maths, and physics in first year, biology and chemistry in second year, and then spent the last two years on molecular medicine. In Molecular Medicine, we learned a lot about how cells work, how different diseases work and how we can find new cures and treatments for those diseases. As others have said, the course has changed a bit now but you can still study Molecular Medicine.

      Neuroscience in UCC. I wanted to study something I didn’t understand in college and I got what I wanted. Neuroscience is as complex and misunderstood as the universe. I love it!

      I studied Geology at the University of Lille (France). I stayed in the same university during my whole studies but I travelled a lot to visit other teams and laboratories of France during my PhD: Paris, Perpignan, Nice, Montpellier…

      I studied Biology at the Lebanese American University for 4 years. I moved to Aberdeen, Scotland to do my Masters in Microbiology for 1 year. I now live in Dublin where I am doing my PhD in Microbiology at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).

      I studied Science at Trinity.
      The course is now called ‘Chemical Sciences’ but when I entered it was called General Science and I did many courses from Chemistry to Geology to Animal Behaviour to Microbiology for the first two years.

      From these two years, Chemistry stood out to me as the most interesting subject and from third year I specialised in Chemistry.
