Bachelor/Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering

Electricity is going to play a huge role in the transition to a sustainable future. In Ireland, and around the world, renewable sources of generation such as wind and solar are coming on stream at a phenomenal rate, electricity networks are being transformed into smart grids, and demand for electricity is soaring as transport and heat are being electrified in the race to zero carbon emissions. With the clear potential for abundant offshore wind generated electricity, especially off our Atlantic Coast, Ireland is positioned to become globally important for many industrial sectors who want to enjoy these benefits and play their role in this sustainable future. This degree in Electrical Engineering will provide you with the knowledge and skills to play a part in this story and prepare you for a successful and rewarding career with a wide range of potential opportunities.  

The programme can be undertaken as either a four-year (Bachelor of Engineering, BE) degree programme or a five-year (Master of Engineering, ME) degree programme. All students would initially enter the BE degree programme route, and can either graduate with a BE degree at the end of the fourth year of study or have the option to continue into the fifth year Masters degree by transferring into the ME degree programme at the end of the fourth year rather than graduating with a BE degree. The Masters route is advised for those who would like to purse the option of becoming a Chartered Engineer with Engineers Ireland after a suitable period of professional experience. 

You may also choose to continue with further study and pursue a PhD and subsequently a research or academic career.
