A Master's in Pharmaceutical Sciences is likely the stronger choice for you, given your background and interests.

- Your education in both Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biotechnology aligns closely with the focus of a pharmaceutical program, especially if you aim for careers in drug development, research, or regulatory roles. - If you are interested in a wider range of industries - like agriculture or environmental science - a Master's in Biotechnology offers broader options.

Both fields have strong prospects in Ireland. Choose Pharmaceutical Sciences if you want to deepen your expertise in drug-related fields; choose Biotechnology if you prefer a broader scientific scope.
