Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (General Entry)

Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) is Ireland's largest and most comprehensive higher education institution. Formed by the merger of three renowned institutes of technology, TU Dublin offers a wide range of programs in various disciplines including engineering, science, business, arts, humanities, and more. With a strong focus on innovation and industry collaboration, TU Dublin provides students with a vibrant and supportive learning environment. The university prides itself on delivering education that is practice-based, industry-relevant, and globally connected, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the modern world.

Students choosing the Level 8 General Engineering course in Tallaght Campus will have the option in Year 1 to choose between Mechanical, Biomedical and Automation Engineering. They are still the same well known and highly commended courses offered in previous years at TU Dublin Tallaght, only this year we combined the first few modules to give students more time to choose their specialisation. Engineers are in extremely high demand right now in Ireland and globally with exponential growth in job opportunities, especially in the Mechanical, Automation and Biomedical sector. With such rapid advances in technologies in the healthcare and medical devices sector, robotics, pharmaceutical, automotive, food and beverage industries, graduates of these three courses will be at the forefront of new technologies to help improve our quality of life through new innovative designs. This level 8 course takes 4 years to complete and we ensure that additional tutorials are available for any students who may require additional academic support. The three Engineering disciplines pride themselves on graduating students who are industry-ready after 4 years. Students experience innovative teaching in modern laboratories and lectures. They can visit engineering companies, travel abroad for a semester or year to our partner Universities in France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Austria, China or seek work placements through our close links with engineering companies and past graduates in industry. Engineering graduates are trained to be creative and inventive, and to solve difficult problems such as the development of new technologies from jet engines to robots to artificial hip implants to hybrid cars and train components.
