Research Project

The minimum entry requirement to the programme is a 2:2 undergraduate degree (Level 8 - National Qualifications Authority of Ireland) (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, or closely related field). For international students, the entry equivalent will be accepted as determined by the Course Director in consultation with UL Graduate School Admissions. Applicants are expected to have a good understanding of the fields of engineering dynamics, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and mechanics of materials. Where applicants are non-native English language speakers, certified achievement in TOEFL or IELTS Standard English Language Competency Test will be required. An interview (on Microsoft Teams) may be part of the admission process.



Those with degrees from programmes not accredited by Engineers Ireland will be reviewed on an individual basis.

1 year full-time, on-campus.

Graduate careers

Prospective careers for graduates are very broad including the energy, biomedical, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, construction and pharmaceutical/chemical industries. Holly Powell, B.Eng. (Mech.), Masters in Mechanical Engineering: “The Masters in Mechanical Engineering allowed me to develop a well-rounded skillset which meant that I could choose from a wide range of great opportunities. Without it, I wouldn’t have had the chance to work my dream job at the forefront of the photolithography industry, where I have almost unlimited opportunities to travel and take on exciting technical challenges.
