Dublin , Dublin ,Ireland

Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Design / Mechanical Engineering / Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering / Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering

Engineers are in extremely high demand right now in Ireland and globally with exponential growth in job opportunities, especially in the Mechanical, Automation and Biomedical sector.

With such rapid advances in technologies in the healthcare and medical devices sector, robotics, pharmaceutical, automotive, food and beverage industries, graduates of these three courses will be at the forefront of new technologies to help improve our quality of life through new innovative designs.

The course takes 3 years to complete and we ensure that additional tutorials are available for any students who may require additional academic support. Students will have the option to choose between Mechanical, Biomedical and Automation Engineering in Year 1. The three Engineering disciplines pride themselves on graduating students who are industry-ready after 3 years.

Engineering graduates are trained to be creative and inventive, and to solve difficult problems such as the development of new technologies from jet engines to robots to artificial hip implants to hybrid cars and train components.

Mechanical engineers work at the leading edge of projects such as augmented reality, driverless cars, renewable energy sources and biocompatible materials for medical devices. In this three-year course, you’ll study subjects such as engineering graphics, mechanical science, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, machine dynamics and robotic systems. You’ll learn about engineering analysis, design and manufacture, and be trained in the use of complex equipment (computers, medical devices, robots, various consumer products). In our laboratories, you’ll face real-world issues and you’ll learn the language of engineers and begin to think like an engineer.
