Engineering Practice

Key Fact:
UL has over a dozen Professional Postgraduate Diplomas on offer, which makes choosing two of interest to you even easier on the way to your MSc. in Engineering Practice.

Programme Content
Autumn Semester
• This semester you will participate on a thesis preparation module where you will produce a thesis proposal and present your work to a team of academics and invited industry experts.

Spring Semester
• This semester you will continue to work on your thesis and present regularly to your designated academic supervisor. At the end of this semester you will submit your work in a documented format and you will be required to present your work to an invited audience in a formal setting as part of your final thesis assessment.

Applicants must already hold two Professional Diploma awards, 30 ECTS each at Level 9 (example of pathways above in Overview), with a minimum second class honours grade two (2.2) or equivalent, as deemed appropriate by the Academic Programme Director.

One of these Professional Diplomas must be a programme completed and awarded by the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

A student's route/specialism for the Masters must be from one of the two routes from which they completed their Professional Diplomas.

For example, a student may have completed a Professional Diploma in Innovation and one in Aviation. Their route on the MSc in Engineering practice must be within one of these two areas. The route will be indicated on the applicants academic transcript.

Please note:
If you have not completed a 30 ECTS Level 9 Professional Diploma at the University of Limerick but have done so at another Academic Institution, then your application will be reviewed by the Academic Programme Director at the School of Engineering at the University of Limerick. Applications will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
