This Masters programme allows the students to specialize in the widely established area of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering or to widen their knowledge from their undergraduate studies. This programme introduces the use of advanced Computer Aided Engineering tools and by experiencing these advanced techniques and software, the graduate will gain a vital edge. It allows the candidate to keep up with the rapidly changing manufacturing and design sectors. In addition, students can opt for a specialist Major in Sustainable Systems/Energy or Biomedical Engineering. Major in Sustainable Systems/Energy There is a growing international market for Engineers in sustainable energy and development, eco-innovation, resource efficiency and clean-tech sectors. There are lots of career opportunities in the growing fields of Energy/Renewable Energy (wind, wave, solar, biomass etc.); a national priority area for Ireland. Major in Biomedical Engineering This discipline integrates the necessary aspects of biology and medicine with the technical engineering aspects required to engineer medical devices. The world of medicine is evolving and expanding rapidly, with new treatments and new diseases appearing all the time. As Ireland is a major player in Bioengineering, this Major provides graduates with specialisms required by industry. There are three exit routes: MEng, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate.

The focused nature of the majors, combined with the continued growth of these important and very successful Irish industrial sectors, will ensure that you are in a pole position to gain employment. Graduates have worked as Research and Development Engineers, Product Engineers, Quality Engineers, Systems Engineers, Clinical Engineers and Product Development Engineers. Others have progressed to PhD research and gained further advancement and recognition. The increasing harmonisation of European standards and US regulations also ensure that graduates will be employable worldwide.
