New Courses at Maynooth University

Biomedical Science

Biology is the study of life, from the fundamental building blocks of our genes to the largest animals that inhabit our planet; how living things work - how they interact with one another and their surroundings, and how they change and evolve; and it involves the application of biomedical science to clinical research. Biomedical science seeks to understand disease processes and how new therapies might be developed. It seeks to utilise fundamental biological knowledge to advance clinical research.

Students learn how to use analytical and technical procedures to monitor and improve human health and to investigate disease processes. The degree is broadly similar to the pre-clinical component of a medical degree.

Finance

Finance is the gateway to a wide range of careers from investment banking and financial analysis to consultancy and even having your own business. If you have an aptitude for problem-solving and enjoy working with numbers, then finance is a very rewarding potential career with the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of others and to the operations of different organisations. In this degree, you will learn about how the financial system works - how assets such as gold, coffee and orange juice are traded, how international markets are linked and the impact of government decisions on markets.

Adult, Community And Further Education

• These three BA programmes are part-time, evening (with some daytime options available), interdisciplinary degrees for mature applicants (21 years or older on 1 January in year of application). Applicants choose one of three degree options at the point of registration:
  • BA Local History, Cultural Heritage and Environment
  • BA Equality and Community Studies
  • BA Adult, Community and Further Education
• Applicants can use previous learning to fast-track to the degree award through the University’s Recognition of Prior Learning system.
• MH804 is a 4.5 year programme, with defined core modules and the option to register for optional modules at the beginning of each year, from year 2 onwards.
• New students of these degrees may have been out of the education system for some time. We therefore dedicate time across all 4.5 years to study skills and student support.
• These degrees are led by the Department of Adult and Community Education in collaboration with the departments of Applied Social Studies; History; Geography; Anthropology; Sociology; Classics; Centre for Irish Cultural Heritage; and Nua-Ghaeilge.
