Your Course The Master ’s in Mechanical Engineering (ME) (60 ECTS Level 9 master ’s) course follows on from the four-year undergraduate BE programme in Mechanical Engineering, providing students with the opportunity to experience and complete advanced mechanical engineering education and research within the framework of the academic and professional requirements for Chartered Engineer status. This course combines advanced taught modules and transferable skills modules with a significant research and development project (Semesters 1 and 2). This large group development project, which is the capstone of the ME, is conducted in collaboration with an engineering research or industry partner and is aligned with active research themes. Important information re the level of the ME qualification and individual student satisfaction of accreditation requirements is provided on page 176. Career Opportunities Our graduates are in high demand in multiple sectors such as device and equipment manufacturing, medical device, power generation, renewable energy, automotive, aerospace, transport, traditional and advanced contract manufacturing, oil and gas, CAD and software, advanced manufacturing process development, material testing, engineering management, and engineering consultancy. Some graduates continue onto further research (e.g., PhD) positions. Minimum Entry Requirements Individuals must have a minimum Second Class Honours, Grade 2 (H2.2), in a Level 8 engineering degree in a related discipline, or equivalent, from a recognised university or third-level college.
