Electronic and Computer Engineering University of Galway

Overview

The Master of Engineering (ME) at University of Galway  provides an ideal opportunity for those seeking to deepen their knowledge in advanced, industry-relevant topics within their core engineering field.

Who is this programme for

The course is particularly suitable for students wishing to enhance their technical expertise while preparing for professional recognition. As part of an integrated 4+1 (Bachelors + Masters) programme, the ME meets European Framework Standards for engineering accreditation, and successful completion, together with an accredited Level 8 degree, satisfies the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. Applicants intending to pursue CEng certification should ensure their undergraduate studies meet the relevant standards, as professional accreditation considers both Level 8 and Level 9 qualifications collectively.

This programme will appeal to ambitious graduates looking to strengthen their career prospects, gain specialised skills in electronics and computing, and access opportunities in advanced engineering roles. It is also suited for those who wish to engage with cutting-edge technologies, research, and professional practice in a structured, intensive, and career-focused postgraduate environment.

Numerous opportunities exist for graduates of this programme in industries ranging from large multi-nationals, indigenous companies, state bodies and small businesses. Graduates may also wish to join or form their own start-up business, as many of our graduates have done so successfully in the past.
