Women in STEM Panel Talks

From Astronauts to Zoologists – A UCC STEM degree leads to some of the most exciting and rewarding careers on the planet. Our understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics is of fundamental importance to the way in which humankind, and this planet we call home, will develop during the 21st century and beyond.

Exciting careers await female graduates of UCC’s College of Science, Engineering and Food Science. In this series of panel discussions, female scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians talk about their fulfilling careers and the way in which they have had a significant impact in areas such as health and the environment.

"Consider what you are passionate about. A career in STEM is incredibly adaptable – you have myriad of directions to go in post-graduation. From cyber security to climate change, from photonics to astrophysics, sustainability to waste minimisation - STEM is the place to be right now.”  Professor Sarah Culloty, Head of College.
