Ireland is one of the strongest countries in the world for engineering graduates. Intel, Apple, Pfizer, Siemens and Boston Scientific all have major operations here. That means the link between your degree and your career is direct, not theoretical.
What you can study
Irish universities offer master's programs across mechanical, civil, electrical, electronic, biomedical, chemical, environmental and software engineering. Most programs run one year full-time, getting you into the workforce faster.
Tuition fees
Engineering master's programs in Ireland typically cost between €9,500 and €34,500 per year depending on the university and program. This is considerably lower than comparable programs in the US or Australia.
Entry requirements
A bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field with a minimum 60 to 70% grade average. Most universities also require an IELTS score of 6.0 to 6.5. Irish institutions tend to prioritise students who have built projects and participated in non-academic activities alongside their studies.
After you graduate
After completing your degree you can stay in Ireland and work for up to 24 months. Engineering graduates are among the most in-demand, particularly in fields like IT, pharmaceuticals and advanced manufacturing.
Work while you study
As an international student you can work up to 20 hours per week during term and full time during summer months and official holidays.
