BE Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a four-year professional engineering course designed to prepare you for employment in the electrical and electronic sectors in Ireland and abroad. It has a broad-based curriculum with strong practical content, including a five-month work placement. It has an excellent record for graduate employment. The first two years of the course will develop your scientific knowledge, especially in mathematics, physics and the fundamental electrical signal concepts. The final two years concentrate on applied engineering topics such as: the generation and distribution of electricity; the development of renewable energy systems; industrial automation and control; telecommunications; optoelectronics and photonics; medical electronic systems; consumer electronics; the design and fabrication of microelectronic integrated circuits; In your final year, a wide range of module options allows you to tailor your studies to suit your particular interests and career ambitions.

The BE Hons (Electrical and Electronic) degree is recognised internationally and our graduates have developed successful careers within the electrical, electronic and energy engineering industries and beyond. While a degree in electrical and electronic engineering acts as a starting point to a career as a professional engineer, the skills acquired during this course are appreciated by a range of employers, offering you the possibility of embarking on a career in many other areas, including computing, management consultancy, the finance industry, and scientific and engineering research.
