Why is the BSc in Biological and Biomedical Sciences for me
What can I do after my degree
Graduates well-trained in mathematical science are
always in demand. A degree in Theoretical Physics
and Mathematics from Maynooth University
not only provides specialist knowledge, it also
trains graduates to think logically and clearly.
Areas where these skills are highly sought
after include finance and banking, insurance,
the civil service, teaching, industrial and
commercial management, administration and
technical, scientific and engineering work in
industry and in research and development.

loved it. The lecturers were fantastic and made the
material both interesting and accessible. I found
myself instantly drawn to the material, constantly in
awe at the beauty of concepts I never even imagined
to exist. To add to the departments’ credit, they
were very helpful and provide a friendly and open
environment. Overall I consider myself very lucky
for having chosen to come to Maynooth and I highly
recommend it to any students considering it”.
