Engineering & Computing - Single Module Programme

In today's ever-evolving technological landscape, staying up-to-date with the latest advancements is crucial for engineering professionals.



The field of electronic and computer engineering is constantly evolving, with new technologies and innovations emerging at a rapid pace. However, having the time, support and opportunity to take on a full Master’s programme to gain the necessary upskilling is often not possible. At DCU we have a solution to support your flexible, part-time, short-form learning needs.



The Single Module Programme offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Computing at DCU provides a valuable opportunity for continuing engineering education.



Students can choose from a selection of high-quality taught modules from the School of Electronic Engineering, which are available both on-campus and online.



These modules focus on the latest developments in electronic systems and computer engineering, making them highly relevant for career advancement.



The programme is designed to meet the needs of professionals seeking further development or those interested in transferring to other postgraduate engineering programmes at our institution. Some examples of module areas include Computer Vision, Nanoelectronics, Photonics, Connected Embedded Systems, Security for IoT Networks, and Bioelectronics.



This flexible programme allows students to take specific postgraduate level modules to enhance their knowledge in Electronic and Computer Engineering. This allows them to progress in their careers or further pursue education opportunities. The Single Module programme has two intakes per academic year: September and January.
