This 90-credit programme, delivered by the School of Electronic Engineering, is at the highest European Masters degree level. It provides advanced engineering courses in the theory, analysis, design, implementation, and manufacture of electronic and computer systems.
With 30 taught modules to select from, the programme is highly flexible and allows participants to design their Masters programme to match their chosen career specialisation.
Students may opt for the General Masters programme, offering maximum flexibility of module choice, or take the option of specialising in one of the following Majors:
- Major in the Internet of Things (IoT) : Specialise in Connected Embedded Systems, Network Programming, Real-time Digital Signal Processing, Data Analysis and Machine Learning
- Major in Image Processing & Analysis (IPA) : Specialise in advanced Computer Vision systems, Digital Signal Processing, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
- Major in Nanotechnology & Photonics (NTP ): Specialise in Nanoelectronics and Photonics devices and systems, Semiconductor Manufacturing practices, methodologies, and technologies
- Major in Data and Telecommunications Networks (DTN) : Specialise in the key technologies driving current and next-generation Data and Telecommunications Systems and Networks
Along with four core Majors modules and a major-specific masters project, students choose four complementary modules. This allows additional skillsets to be developed to enhance, or diversify, their chosen Major speciality. See Programme section below for links to module options.
There are two intakes on to the programme per academic year (September and January). Full-time students beginning in September may complete the programme in 12 months. Full-time students beginning their studies in January may complete in 18 months. Flexible study options are also provided for part-time students.
An alternative Masters Qualifier entry path is available for EU-status students who do not meet the Masters programme entry requirements. Note: Non-EU students, who require a visa to study in Ireland, cannot take the Masters Qualifier.
Why Choose this Programme?
- Established : Longest-running engineering Masters in Ireland with a high demand for graduates
- Modern : The programme is continually renewed and updated to reflect current and emerging technological advances in industry and research
- Relevant : Our students acquire knowledge and skills that are highly sought after in industry, both in Ireland and internationally
- Flexible Access : The programme offers the choice of full or part-time study combined with the option of two starting times per academic year (September, January)
- Flexible Study : Modules can be taken on-campus or remotely from a very wide suite of module choices
- Rewarding : Students work on an extensive Masters project in some of the top research labs in the country
