Why is this course for me?	At UCD Engineering we provide a rigorous education in the fundamental engineering subjects and help you to develop problemsolving and design skills based on maths and physics. As a UCD Engineering student you will enrol in a common first year, which allows you to gain an understanding of the many different engineering disciplines available, before being offered an unrestricted choice of specialisation, subject to health and safety based capacity constraints. We have the widest range of degree choices in the country and, after completing this common first year, you can choose your second year pathway from one of the following: Biomedical Engineering Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical or Electronic Engineering Energy Systems Engineering Mechanical Engineering Your chosen area of specialisation in second year will also offer routes to further branches of engineering at a Masters level. The range of study and career opportunities that can be accessed through our bachelor’s and master’s degree options is illustrated on the diagram. You can choose a Bachelor of Engineering Science – BSc (three years) – leading to a Master of Engineering – ME (two years). You can also pursue a Bachelor of Engineering – BE degree (four years). Since 2013, the educational standard for the professional title of Chartered Engineer (Engineers Ireland) has been an accredited master’s degree programme in engineering or equivalent. The BE degree (four years) in Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering is accredited at the master’s level by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and satisfies the educational standard for the professional title of Chartered Engineer (IChemE). This choice does not apply to Structural Engineering with Architecture, DN140.
