We provide a stimulating learning environment with a wide-ranging and relevant taught curriculum that is underpinned by a hands-on laboratory experience that will encourage students to develop a deep understanding of structure-property relationships in materials. A significant period of structured internship at an industrial partner is a key component of the programme. A variety of teaching, learning and assessment strategies are used to achieve the desired outcomes including individual and team assignments, technical presentations, internship assessment and a significant supervised research p Advanced knowledge and understanding of the mathematics, sciences, engineering sciences and technologies underpinning their branch of engineering. An understanding of the need for high ethical standards in the practice of engineering, including the responsibilities of the engineering profession towards people, society and the environment. The ability to communicate effectively on complex technical activities with the engineering and science community and with society at large. The ability to design and conduct experiments and to apply a range of standard and specialised research (or equivalent) tools and techniques of enquiry. The ability to identify, formulate, analyse and solve complex engineering problems. The ability to perform the detailed design of a novel system, component or process using analysis and interpretation of relevant data. The ability to work effectively as an individual, in teams and in multidisciplinary settings, together with the capacity to undertake lifelong learning. Materials Science and Engineering sits at the core of myriad industries striving to overcome global challenges—most notably climate change—and is central to areas including automotive engineering, semiconductors and electronics, aerospace, renewable energy, biomedical engineering, manufacturing, fashion and cosmetics. Graduates of the ME / MEngSc Materials Science and Engineering programme can look forward to limitless employment opportunities in these sectors. These sectors deeply value the analytical, technical and problem-solving skills that our graduates bring. Typical career paths include technical or research scientist positions some graduates also progress to PhD study UCD materials graduates have secured roles such as in leading organisations across aerospace (General Electric, Rolls‑Royce, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics) biomedical (Boston Scientific, Stryker, DePuy Synthes) Manufacturing remains a major pillar of the Irish economy, accounting for 24% of national output and employing 20% of the workforce directly or indirectly. Ireland’s aerospace and aviation industry contributes over €4.1 billion annually and supports approximately 42,000 full-time jobs across more than 250 companies. The country also hosts 18 of the world’s top 25 medtech companies and a major multinational semiconductor manufacturing facility, Intel Leixlip, together employing over 40,000 peop
