Overview
This course in Brewing & Distilling Science is both co-designed and co-delivered by industry experts. The Department of Chemistry has been analysing Irish whiskies over the past number of years, and this coupled with their engagement with beverage industries provides the perfect platform for the co-creation of a course in Brewing & Distilling (B&D).
This is a focused short course which will provide an overview into the science behind key analytical skills and how to interpret scientific results.
This course will run part-time commencing in March 2024 and will last 12 weeks. The lectures will be delivered under a blended approach and there is an opportunity to practice and develop these key skills hands-on in a modern laboratory facility over a 3-day residency at Maynooth University.
As part of the Brewing and Distilling program from Maynooth University there will be a career development lecture by the Institute of Brewing & Distilling IBD (Irish Section). Upon completion participants will obtain an accredited Certificate in Continuing Education from Maynooth University.
Career Options
- The world class B&D industry is a very significant contributor to the Irish Economy with products in over 125 markets and exports worth 1.44 billion.
- It is Irelands fastest growing manufacturing sector with a strong presence across the country and it has been predicted that this sector will create 23,000 new jobs by 2025. Currently, there are 38 operational Irish Whiskey distilleries, an estimated 34 Irish gin distilleries and 75 microbreweries in the country compared to 15 breweries and 4 distilleries in 2008.
- As a result of this rapid growth there is a need to educate and train this growing sector and provide a sound scientific knowledge base and understanding of modern instrumentation techniques.
- Graduates of the micro-credential will ultimately be able to appreciate, explore and implement the best practice in their own settings, whether this be in production, technical or research work.
