Location of Dublin City University
Computer-based tools are growing ever more complex. So much so, that a B.Eng. graduate is not equipped to deliver what today's industry requires. The demand for faster results means that a graduate's fundamental knowledge needs to be enhanced by a detailed knowledge of the available tools, their application, strengths and limitations. This programme introduces the use of such advanced CAE tools and, by experiencing these advanced techniques and software, the graduate will gain a vital edge.
There are three exit routes: Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and M.Sc.
Aims and Objectives:
* To inspire mechanical and manufacturing engineers to become competent and adaptable in the application of computer techniques in engineering.
* To inform practising engineers who wish to be re-oriented or have their skills updated (see Access Programme).
Career Prospects:
This programme offers many opportunities to its graduates. Some students have launched a new career in design and manufacturing, often based on new skills they have developed and nurtured during the project. Part-time students have found that their career progression has been more rapid, or that new roles have opened up with their employers. Others have progressed to PhD research and gained further advancement and recognition. In a time of competition for positions, the additional qualifications provided by this programme are a valuable addition to your CV.
* You can study part-time and remotely for maximum flexibility.
* A unique programme not available anywhere else in Ireland.
* A new building with excellent teaching, laboratory, workshop and computing facilities.
* Completion of the programme will open up improved employment opportunities.
* Provides an excellent preparation ground for Ph.D research.
Fees Reduction
This programme is supported by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) under their Graduate Skills Conversion Programme, resulting in a reduced fee for European Union citizens. This is subject to review each year but in 2010/2011 the fees payable per annum by EU citizens were reduced to €2,000.
International Students
Students who have completed the Pre-Masters International Foundation Programme (IFP), are guaranteed a place on their target programme in DCU. Visit for further details.
Contents
There are specific entry routes to this programme. The one you pursue will depend on your qualifications and experience.
For those with an honours (level 8) degree in mechanical/manufacturing engineering; a H2.2 or higher award enables direct entry to the full M.Sc. Programme, otherwise applicants will be offered a place on the Graduate Certificate programme with the potential (dependent on passing modules at the first attempt) to transfer to the M.Sc. programme and the credits gained are carried towards the M.Sc. award.
Those with ordinary (level 7) Mechanical/Manufacturing degrees and relevant experience entry to the M.Sc. programme is via a qualifier programme (Masters Engineering Qualifier (CAMQ) . The taught modules available on the programme are a mixture of preparatory level 8 fourth year modules and advanced level 9 modules. Students select modules based on their previous education and the requirements of their own interests. For the awarding of the MSc or GD at least 60 credits must be at level 9. M.Sc. (90 credits) The one year, full-time (two year, part-time) programme requires you to pass 8 taught modules (60 credits) over the duration of the programme, and also to complete a Masters project worth 30 credits in the summer period. M.Sc. candidates must have Research Practice and Methodology as one of their lecture based modules.
Graduate Diploma (60 credits)
The Graduate Diploma is an exit award for those on the MSc programme who have completed the taught module (60 credit) elements and do not want or need to complete the MSc project.
Graduate Certificate (30 credits)
Students who accumulate 30 credits at level 9 on the MSc programme may elect to exit the programme with a Graduate Certificate. Successful applicants to the programme witha level 8 H3, or lower degree, will be registered initially for the Graduate Certificate Programme. Here they will undertake four modules from the M.Sc. programme. Passing each of the modules on the first attempt enables automatic transfer to the M.Sc. programme, carrying the credits with them. Students who do not meet this standard, but who ultimately accumulate 30 credits, may exit with the Graduate Certificate.
CAMME MSc Qualifier (CAMQ):
If you do not qualify for direct entry to the M.Sc./GD/GC you must pass the Qualifier course before starting the M.Sc./GD/GC programme. This course increases the knowledge of students who hold an ordinary degree (level 7) in mechanical and manufacturing engineering with relevant work experience. Students on the CAMQ must achieve a mark of at least 50% in each module. Once achieved, transfer to the M.Sc. programme is automatic and the credits gained are carried towards the M.Sc. award.
Additional Information:
Please note, modules may be replaced from time to time to keep pace with the rapidly evolving field of Computer-aided Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
