SETU Waterford Science Careers Day

SETU Waterford is looking forward to the Science Careers Day, to be held at the SETU Arena on Friday, 31 March 2023. We are delighted this year to welcome our new President, Prof Veronica Campbell, as our keynote speaker. She will be addressing final-year students from our full portfolio of science programmes, including:

• Agriculture
• Agricultural Science
• Food Science with Business/ Food Science and Innovation
• Molecular Biology with Biopharmaceutical Science
• Pharmaceutical Science
• Physics for Modern Technology
• Horticulture
• Forestry

These students are currently engaged in the final year of an ordinary (three-year, Level 7) or honours (four-year, Level 8) degree and will be available for work in June 2023. We will also be including postgraduate students from these disciplines.

This is an ideal opportunity for employers to engage directly with highly-skilled individuals who have been trained to meet the demands of modern industry. The majority of the morning will be devoted to a networking event where employers can meet students and discuss career opportunities. Each employer attending will also receive a Careers Day Graduate Handbook containing information on approximately 270 students, including a short biography and contact details (see “Student Profiles” tab for examples from previous years).
