72 Engineering Degree Programs in Ireland

The Chemical Engineering industry in Ireland is one of its strongest exporting sectors and is representative of the chemical process industries worldwide. The MEngSc in Chemical Engineering offers advanced level education for students with primary degrees in chemical engineering/technology programmes. In this programme, you will improve your conceptual and practical skills in both the fundamental and applied principles of chemical engineering practice.

Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering is one of the most diverse of the engineering disciplines. It deals with the design and manufacture of everything, from small individual parts and devices like the inkjet nozzle to large systems such as spacecraft. The role of a mechanical engineer is to take ideas from concept to physical reality.

The BEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering is a full-time, four-year, honours degree course of study that can be chosen within the Engineering Common Entry Route.  This course is recognised by Engineers Ireland (EI) and prepares students for employment in the electronics industry.

The M.Sc. in Civil Engineering provides training in advanced topics in civil engineering. The program has been tailored to meet the needs of the civil engineering sector, which requires graduates with high-level skills in design, analysis and communication. In addition, the course is designed to fulfil the requirements of Engineers Ireland for a Master’s degree in an engineering discipline as the minimum educational standard for Chartered Engineer status. The accreditation process for this new program will proceed in the normal way.

This new MSc course will provide graduates in geoscience (or cognate subjects) with high-level knowledge and technical skills relevant for the vibrant environmental and geotechnical sectors in Ireland and elsewhere.

Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering design, construct, and maintain the Built Environment on which our modern societies depend. Civil Engineering includes our Roads, the Supply of Safe Water, Sewage and Wastewater Treatment, Buildings and Bridges, Railways, Airports, and Electricity Generation.

The MEngSc in Water & Environmental Engineering will gain advanced theoretical and conceptual knowledge and understanding in the area of environmental engineering on topics such as engineering hydrology, environmental modelling, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management, etc.

This programme delivers a comprehensive and future-facing education in food and bioprocess engineering, combining engineering principles with advanced manufacturing, digital technologies, and sustainability. It is ideal for graduates in engineering, science, and related disciplines who want to work at the cutting edge of food production, biotechnology, and advanced processing systems.

The emphasis of the MSc in Computer Science (Software Engineering) is on the principles of good scientific software engineering practice, grounded in a hands-on understanding of the applicability of these practices, so that successful participants will be able to design and lead major software engineering projects.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) is a new common entry degree programme aimed at giving you a solid foundation in engineering while allowing you a little extra time to decide exactly which area of engineering you would like to study.

Engineers are concerned with developing economical and safe solutions to practical problems, by applying mathematics and scientific knowledge while considering technical constraints. LM116 Engineering common entry is designed to provide you with a gateway to your preferred engineering discipline. You will complete a broad first year which will introduce you to various topics in engineering. Having gained a better understanding of each subject area, you then choose your preferred pathway to specialise for the remainingyears of your degree programme. At UL, you get to try before you decide.

Software engineering involves the application of specialised knowledge and skills to develop different kinds of large, complex software systems. The course aims to: equip graduates with a detailed knowledge of the theories, processes, methods and techniques of building high-quality software in a cost-effective manner; to increase the awareness of the opportunities offered by current research in Software Engineering and its application to current practice.

Electronic Engineering at Maynooth University has developed world-class expertise in the area of mobile communications, radio and wireless communications, biomedical engineering research, dynamics and control research, wave energy research, and robotics. Each of these areas is matched to rapidly growing industries and excellent job opportunities.

The Robotics and Intelligent Devices programme focuses on the design, implementation, and use of intelligent physical things including robots, autonomous vehicles, smart sensors, and internet-of-things devices. It is accredited by Engineers Ireland and internationally recognised.

This programme is the only course of its kind in the Mid-West and Western regions of the country. Process engineering is the central area of expertise underpinning many important, sustainable industries and businesses within both the Irish and global economies. Such enterprises include: biopharmaceuticals, fuels, chemicals, and drug manufacture, energy production, food and beverage processing, environmental waste remediation, and electronic component manufacture.
