Mechanical Engineering (Mechanical/ Biomedical/Automation)

Students choosing the Level 8 General Engineering programme at Tallaght Campus will have the option in Year 1 to choose between Mechanical, Biomedical, and Automation Engineering. They are still the same well-known and highly commended programmes offered in previous years on the Tallaght Campus, only this year we combined the first few modules to give students more time to choose their specialisation. 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 sectors.

With such rapid advances in technologies in the healthcare and medical devices sector, robotics, pharmaceutical, automotive, food and beverage industries, graduates of these three programmes will be at the forefront of new technologies to help improve our quality of life through new innovative designs. Engineers Ireland has accredited our programmes for over 25 years now which means that graduates can travel worldwide and have their qualifications recognised abroad. The Level 8 programme takes 4 years to complete and we ensure that additional tutorials are available for any students who may require additional academic support. The three Engineering disciplines pride themselves on graduating students who are industry-ready after 4 years. Students experience innovative teaching in modern laboratories and lectures. They can visit engineering companies, travel abroad for a semester or year to our partner Universities in France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Austria, and China or seek work placements through our close links with engineering companies and past graduates in the industry. Engineering graduates are trained to be creative and inventive, and to solve difficult problems such as the development of new technologies ranging from jet engines to robots to artificial hip implants to hybrid cars and train components.
