ME Year 4 Modules:
The first part of Year 4 consists of six core technical modules, to develop your technical skills and allow access to the more advanced Masters modules in Year 5. From January to August you will have a work placement in Industry or Research Institute to further develop your skills in a practical environment. Professional lectures are held in the first semester to help support the skills needed to work effectively at an advanced level within a corporate environment.
 

ME Year 5:
The highlight of Year 5 is an extended Individual Research. This is supported by two management modules to enhance your professional development with the remaining technical modules being chosen from a range of advanced Masters level courses based on your own career interests.

At Least six subjects must be presented. Minimum grade H4 in one subject, minimum grade H5 in one subject and minimum grade O6/H7 in four other subjects. English and Irish are requirements for all programmes unless the applicant is exempt from Irish.
 

The following are considered Lab Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Physics with Chemistry (Joint), and Agricultural Science. Technology can be substituted for a Lab Science subject. 
 

Non-EU Candidates
Non-EU candidates are expected to have educational qualifications of a standard equivalent to the Irish Leaving Certificate. In addition, where such candidates are non-native speakers of the English language they must satisfy the university of their competency in the English language.
