This Postgraduate Certificate includes modules on the technical aspects of brewing and distilling, and the opportunity to acquire hands-on practical experience in these disciplines, in our new micro-brewery/distillery at TU Dublin Grangegorman. In addition, students will learn the process of product development and sensory analysis and will make their own bespoke beverage (concept through to final product). This is coupled with an introduction to the ‘business world’ through a creation, innovation and entrepreneurship module; which may afford interested participants the opportunity to consider a career as a beverage entrepreneur. Alternatively, this Postgraduate Certificate may serve as the basis for future employment in the drinks sector or further postgraduate research in the area of brewing and distilling in TU Dublin. Students will also have the opportunity to attend guest lectures from industry experts and visit companies on day trips. Moreover, students will also grow their network of contacts and gain ‘real-life’ experience through a work placement/practice module.
