Scholarships and Awards for 2022 Sustainable Timber Technology Students
Are you currently considering your CAO choices and interested in how you can contribute to climate action in your studies and career? Well, Sustainable Timber Technology might just be the course for you, with a range of scholarships you can apply for if you start the course this September.
The Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree in Sustainable Timber Technology (TU838) is designed to equip students for positions in the expanding Forest Product Sector, which Enterprise Ireland predicts will grow from 12,000 to 20,000 employees in the next ten years.
This four-year, full-time programme features a mix of theoretical and skills-based modules appealing to students interested in Sustainable Enterprise as many of the learning outcomes relate directly to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Cross-sectoral skills such as critical thinking, creativity, management, and collaboration are an important part of the programme supporting the central focus on wood science, timber skills, and production management. The programme has strong links with industry, and a work placement takes place in the sixth semester.
This year, TU Dublin is delighted to announce a range of new Scholarship and Award programmes for incoming first-year students of Sustainable Timber Technology. These packages offer financial assistance to students and provide an opportunity to develop long-lasting and significant relationships with industry leaders.
