Studying Engineering at UCD At UCD Engineering we provide a rigorous education in the fundamental engineering subjects and help you to develop problem- solving and design skills based on maths and physics. As a UCD Engineering student you will enrol in a common first year, which allows you to gain an understanding of the many different engineering disciplines available, before being offered an unrestricted choice of specialisation*, subject to health and safety based capacity constraints. We have the widest range of degree choices in the country and, after completing this common first year, you can choose your second year pathway from one of the following:
– Biomedical Engineering – Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering – Civil Engineering – Electrical or Electronic Engineering – Mechanical Engineering
Your chosen area of specialisation in second year will also offer routes to further branches of engineering at a Masters level. The range of study and career opportunities that can be accessed through our bachelor’s and master’s degree options is illustrated on the diagram on page 150. You can choose a Bachelor of Engineering Science – BSc (three years) – leading to a Master of Engineering – ME (two years). You can also pursue a Bachelor of Engineering – BE degree (four years).
Since 2013, the educational standard for the professional title of Chartered Engineer (Engineers Ireland) has been an accredited master’s degree programme in engineering or equivalent. The BE degree (four years) in Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering is accredited at the master’s level by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and satisfies the educational standard for the professional title of Chartered Engineer (IChemE).
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities A world of opportunity awaits you as a UCD Engineering graduate and, as our programmes are professionally accredited, they are fully recognised internationally.
You’ll be able to establish a career in many sectors, including:
Energy/clean technology ¬ Infrastructure ¬ Healthcare ¬ Food ¬ Information and communications technology ¬Business ¬ Research ¬ Education
You’ll be equipped with a mindset and skills that will make you an asset to any employer. The Engineering education offered by UCD is recognised by the world’s top companies. In addition to our wide range of BE degrees, UCD has numerous graduate programmes including taught master’s degrees with specialisations in:
– Biomedical Engineering – Biosystems Engineering
– Civil, Structural & Environmental Engineering
– Electrical Energy Engineering – Electronic & Computer Engineering – Energy Systems Engineering – Engineering with Business – Mechanical Engineering – Materials Science & Engineering
There are also research programmes available to students at both master’s and PhD level.
