MEngSc Engineering Management

at University College Dublin

This programme is delivered by the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering which has 50 years' experience in teaching Engineering Management.
 

Designed around five core themes, the programme addresses the principle engineering management challenges involved in the design, operations and management of international technology companies.
 

Applied research project: This programme offers a unique opportunity to the students to apply their acquired knowledge during the first two trimesters to a practical company-based problem during the summer trimester. The project topic may be of direct relevance to a company sponsor who will outline their project requirements in consultation with the student team and the academic supervisor. To prepare for their project, each student will participate in a series of workshops designed to develop consultancy and research skills. This summer project provides immense opportunity to the students to demonstrate their capabilities while working with a company, increasing their chances of employment with the same company.

The cost of studying at University College Dublin varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay €29100 annually, to study in University College Dublin.

Career opportunities are very broad as the MEngSc Engineering Management students are not narrow technical specialists but “T-shaped” individuals combining specialist skills with a broad understanding of the business environment. Apart from the usual engineering discipline-specific job opportunities based on their bachelor’s degree, the students accomplishing this one-year master’s degree will be equipped with enough knowledge and experience to pursue a career related to the job positions, such as quality analyst, data analyst, operations analyst, supply chain planner, project management and continuous improvement analyst. The acquired skill sets are invaluable when embarking upon careers in many sectors including energy, consumer goods, medical technology, management consulting, ICT and automotive. Prospective employers include Accenture, Intel, RPS, SAP, Maxim Integrated, Boston Scientific, Microsoft, PwC, Deloitte, Accenture and many more.
