+The Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) degree programme has been developed in conjunction with employers to meet the demand for graduates with strong skills in computer software and electronic hardware engineering, along with mathematical analysis abilities, to support current and emerging societal needs.
+This programme of study will support the development of skills required to develop and employ technologies to tackle many of the challenges of the coming decades including Internet edge devices, climate change, electric vehicles, sustainable development, energy, personalised health and well-being, and artificial intelligence, as well as other innovative areas such as entertainment and autonomous vehicles.
+Graduates of this degree programme will play key roles in the research, design, development, test and installation of future systems. They will frequently work in teams to tackle challenging problems. Many of those who graduate from this degree programme also continue their academic studies by pursuing higher degrees by research (e.g., MEng and PhD), or through taught postgraduate programmes (e.g., MSc, MEng, and MBA).
+The programme can be undertaken as either a four-year (Bachelor of Engineering, BEng) degree programme or a five-year (Master of Engineering, MEng) degree programme. All students would initially enter the BEng degree programme route, and can either graduate with a BEng degree at the end of the fourth year of study or have the option to continue into the fifth year Masters degree by transferring into the MEng degree programme at the end of the fourth year rather than graduating with a BEng degree.
+At the end of the second year, students on the Electronic and Computer Engineering degree programme would select a major option from five major options – Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotic Engineering, Electrical Energy Engineering, and a General option. Core subjects studied will be augmented by student selected elective subjects that allow the student to identify a focus of specific interest.
+The programme of study thus offers excellent choice, thereby enhancing the range employment prospects and future career choice options for the student.

+
+
+The first two years of the programme is common to all students on the programme and will provide a strong practical and theoretical foundation in computing and programming languages, software, digital and analogue electronics, electrical science, and engineering mathematics. During these first two years of the programme, students will be guided towards their choice of a major option to be undertaken in the years three and four of the programme.
+In years three and four of the programme, students select one of the available BEng major options, and decide whether they would want to graduate with a BEng degree award or continue their studies into a fifth year to graduate with a MEng degree award. There is also the opportunity to choose a General option, where students can select modules from the various major option streams rather than specialising on a single major option.
+Work experience is obtained through an eight-month period of Cooperative Education (Co-op), which is an integral part of the programme. Co-op will provide students with real-world industrial experience and practice. This will be taken in the summer at the end of second year and the first semester of the third year of the programme.
+In year four, the final year of the BEng programme, students aiming to graduate with a BEng degree will undertake a major individual project, which in general aims to solve a real-world problem. The project involves advanced design and implementation work, and builds confidence by putting into practice the skills and knowledge that have been acquired throughout the programme of study.
+Master of Engineering (MEng) Track (year five). The MEng track enables students to gain a broader and deeper understanding of a range of advanced topics in electronic & computer engineering including integrated circuit (IC) design, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptography and security, data forensics, and network security, amongst others. Students will also undertake a major individual project. Students will select the MEng track in year three of the programme, and will study the MEng track subjects in year 4.

+LM118 Programme of Study in more detail
+Students will initially register for the LM118 BEng in Electronic and Computer Engineering degree programme and can opt to study for four years (BEng degree) or five years (MEng degree). The LM118 programme is broken into two parts:
+Part 1: Years one and two are common to all the degree options.
+Part 2: Years three and four for all degree options have some common modules, but the programme has been designed to offer specialist modules in each option area.
+Students who opt to complete the programme after four years will graduate with a BEng degree award. For students who opt to continue onto the MEng degree track will transfer onto the LM806 MEng degree at the end of year four rather than graduating with the BEng degree award:
+
+
+Year 5 (year 1 of the LM806 programme) offers specialist modules that can be selected by the student.

+
+
+                                        Annual charge set by the government for all full-time third level students.
+                                        All students are liable unless they have been approved for a grant by
+                                        Student Universal Support Ireland
+                                        (SUSI). Please refer to https://www.studentfinance.ie to determine your
+                                        eligibility for a grant and for instructions on how to apply. The current student
+                                        contribution is set at €3000.
+                                
+Student Levy
+All students are liable to pay the Student Levy of
+                                €100. Please note the Student Levy is not covered by the SUSI Grant.
+                        
+Tuition Fees
+These are based on
+                                Residency,
+                                Citizenship,
+                                Course requirements.
+
+
+Review the three groups of criteria to determine your fee status as follows
+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Computer Science (Common Entry) offers exposure to a variety of subjects relating to different areas of computing such as general programming, knowledge of computer architecture, games modelling, and an understanding of the mathematical basis that underpins computing. Our well-equipped and modern laboratories will enable you to acquire practical experience and skills with confidence. You will follow a common first-year programme of study and then select one of the three BSc programmes during the second semester. During the first year you will become well-versed in a range of computing subjects, and therefore, can make better choices that suit your particular needs and interests.
+The modules in first year provide students with a foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java and python, and introduce functional and assembly languages. The modules are selected to give insights into the three Denominated Programmes (options), these being (a) BSc Computer Systems, (b) BSc in Cyber Security and IT Forensics, and (c) BSc Computer Games Development.
+BSc in Cyber Security and IT Forensics focuses on the construction of safe and secure networks and systems of the future. The basics of computation are discussed in the computer science modules. The structure and operation of a computer and networks are presented in the computer organisation modules.  The Games Design module introduces design and programming of games. A basic competency in discrete and computer maths is necessary for all of the above, and for the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science streams in years 3 and 4 of two of the Denominated Programmes. Abstraction and problem solving are fundamental in computer science and these are covered in the module Representation and Modelling.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+
+
+Why study Computer Systems at UL?
+The Computer Systems programme at UL aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to become a successful and effective computer professional.
+Many advanced and highly sophisticated software-intensive systems underpin the modern world. For example, software-based systems play an important role in all kinds of systems including smart cities, smart homes, social networks, manufacturing, finance, education, medicine, transport, and entertainment.
+But creating software-intensive systems is a human activity. Despite all the advances, software-intensive systems still present many demanding challenges for the professionals who design, build, test and deploy them. Being involved in the development of computer-based systems promises to be an exciting and indispensable career for the foreseeable future.
+On completion of the programme, graduates go on to a variety of interesting and rewarding software careers based in large and small organisations, in industry, in research and in education and training. As ever, the primary focus of this course is on the underlying principles of software development and their application to modern software development practices. In particular, we want you to secure a firm and lasting intellectual foundation that will allow you to acquire new and specific technical knowledge over a lifelong career. The course is designed to give you ample opportunities to learn and apply knowledge in small tutorials and practical groups.
+The aims and objectives of the Computer Systems programme are:
+
+
+To develop the skills you will need in order to analyse a wide range of problems
+To provide a sound understanding of the theory of computer science and the principles of software development
+To be a competent practitioner in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science
+To develop social and communication skills that will enable you to function successfully in organisations and teams
+To develop a sense of professionalism that will help you to apply your skills for the good of society.
+
+
+Entry route to Computer Systems at UL is via LM121 Computer Science Common Entry.

+Mara Kelly
+Throughout school I was always interested in mathematics, science and technology. As IT is the fastest growing field globally, I knew that a BSc. in Computer Systems would interest me and also enable me to find work in any part of the world.
+A typical day for me involves discussing new projects with clients and co-workers, in order to gather requirements and design technical plans for how any new changes will be developed, tested and deployed. I am also working on development projects in C#. Dell has been great for starting my career, as we are not pigeon-holed into one role or set of tasks. There is a huge diversity of roles across IT in areas such as development, analysis, human resources and release management, so do not think that in order to go in to IT you must be one type of person with a certain skill set! If you are interested in technology and the way things work, you can find a place in IT.
+The BSc. in Computer Systems at UL gave me the technical skills to be able to understand and develop software, test plans, and requirements documents. I have also learned skills which could be applied to anything I may decide to do in the future, such as attention to detail and the ability to be a highly analytic critical thinker.
+Any advice for school leavers? It sounds clichéd, but make sure you chose something you are truly interested in! A lot of people seem to be scared into choosing a course they may not love, because it is a “guaranteed” job. You should think about how you can become successful in the thing you love, rather than choosing a degree that you think will make you successful.
+Mara currently works as a Software Development Analyst with Dell EMC Technologies

+I have always been interested in how computers work and from a young age knew I wanted to follow a career path in software engineering. When I was researching what computing course to choose I was drawn to Computer Systems at UL mainly due to the Co-Op placement but also the modules on offer. Having the opportunity to get hands-on experience in industry for 8 months was the deciding factor for me.
+This course will provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to gain competency in the software engineering profession. There is a heavy focus on programming, as well as developing applications in mobile and web environments.
+For my Co-Op placement, I worked in Amazon Web Services in Dublin which is the largest cloud computing platform in the world, powering some of the most popular websites and services available. I was based in the CloudFront Content Delivery Network team, creating an internal system that kept the service healthy and automated repairs when an issue was detected.
+Throughout my placement, I got to greatly expand my knowledge of programming languages and technologies, gained invaluable practical experience in the industry and also developed a deeper understanding of how distributed systems function on a worldwide scale. When approaching potential employers at graduation, having Amazon Web Services on my CV will be a major selling point.

+Since childhood, I was always very inquisitive and loved to learn about how things work. This interest drove me to be a good problem solver and lateral thinker. At secondary school I was stuck for direction but ultimately decided that the IT road appeared to provide lots of options after college ? turns out I was right!
+I started my career after UL as a Test Engineer, then moved on to various other roles. This experience was invaluable and provided me with a strong business acumen in addition to my technical skill set, which eventually led me to a fantastic career at Dell.
+I work as part of a team of technical specialists. My main focus is to engage with customers and help to identify solutions for their business needs. It's a fast-paced exciting role which is always at the cutting edge of technology.
+IT is a great choice for people from all backgrounds. Whatever your personality you will ultimately find that there is a niche for you. There are opportunities to work in all industries and anywhere in the world. Don't forget you need to sell yourself, so big-up your experiences to future employers. Don't be afraid to be different or to go for something that seems difficult at first. With a company like Dell, you will learn from motivated enthusiastic people. Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained!
+Malvina is currently employed as an Internal Enterprise Consultant with Dell Ireland.

+You will study the modules presented in Year 1 of the Common Entry route to Cyber Security and IT Forensics. The emphasis in Year 1 is on programming, an understanding of its basis, and the study of the physical machine on which programs run. Your study of Cybersecurity modules begins in semester 3 and runs throughout the course – including topics in Cryptography, Data Forensics, Cybersecurity Law and Regulations, and Host and Network Security. As you need to understand the platforms to which cybersecurity measures are applied, you will also study operating systems, networks, and web and mobile technologies throughout the course. Plenty of hands-on practical laboratory experience is provided throughout the course. 
+During the final year, you will have the opportunity to apply the skills learned in the previous three years in the specialist security and networking modules by undertaking a final year project which develops skills in design, implementation, testing and reporting. Each student will work with the guidance of an individual supervisor. The final year project will help you to pull together the skills and techniques that you have acquired throughout the course. 
+As with other UL courses, a Cooperative Education placement provides 30 weeks of industrial work experience. In this course, Coop takes place in the second semester of 3rd year and through the summer break preceding 4th year.

+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria

+Graduate Profile
+Ryan Kerswill
+As a Network Programmer, a typical day involves designing systems, implementing features, research and fixing bugs. Communication is important and our team discusses various topics every day. This includes a daily meeting where we explain what we have been working on to keep immediate team members informed of each other's work, and if there are any problems. On complex problems, we design them together for more feedback on the current solution. Sometimes we review each other's work before submitting it. My course in Computer Games Development at UL was extremely relevant to the industry I have become part of. I learned many skills that are required for my job, so that every day, I use the knowledge gained from the course. The internship I did as part of the Co-Op program was invaluable and helped me to secure a job after graduation. Having work experience before graduating sets you apart from other candidates competing for the same job.
+Ryan is currently employed as a Junior Network Programmer with Ubisoft in Montpellier, France.

+Student Profile
+Daniel Keohane
+I have always loved playing video games, but I was also extremely interested in how they were made. I looked at some of the topics covered in this course and felt it was the perfect option for me. This degree programme will teach you about software engineering, with a strong leaning towards games development. We learn about games-related subjects like computer graphics and AI, while still covering generic software modules like Object Oriented Development and Software Architectures.
+I really enjoy my course - it has provided me with a number of opportunities to enter programming competitions around the country which are huge fun. Gamesfleadh is held every year and comprises of a number of programming-related competitions, i.e. Robocode where contestants must develop an AI system for a virtual battle bot using the Java programming language to compete against other battle bots.
+For my Co-op work placement, I went to DemonWare in Dublin. DemonWare specialises in online software services for some of the top game developer studios in the world, powering some of the most popular video game titles. I worked for the Call of Duty team; my tasks involved developing features for the upcoming Call of Duty title and bug-fixing issues in existing titles. Through my work placement, I gained a wealth of hands-on experience and developed my knowledge of Python, C++ and Git. This work placement at Demonware has been invaluable and is one of my strongest selling points when it comes to applying for any graduate position. While my development work was on the Call of Duty titles, I am credited in: Call of Duty: Ghosts, Diablo 3 and Skylanders: Swap Force

+Students who choose the BSc in Cyber Security and IT Forensics will come from a variety of backgrounds. If you...
+- Enjoy learning about computing and networks but also like helping and working with people, you could work as an IT Security Consultant;
+- Have an aptitude for solving mysteries and doing a bit of detective work you can become a Security or Forensics Analyst;
+- Like the thought of designing and creating things, you may want to pursue a career in secure web design and programming;
+- Are business oriented, perhaps you will work in making e-commerce secure.
+Why Study Cyber Security and IT Forensics at UL?
+Today, at the start of the 21st century, computers, networks and mobile devices are everywhere. We rely on them for our banking, for our shopping, to store and send all kinds of sensitive and important data. But are they safe? When you use an ATM machine, how do you know that your transaction is secure? When you order groceries, how can you trust the system not to give away your credit card details?
+In a wireless-connected world populated by computer viruses, spyware, malware and bots, security is vital. As the world is becoming increasingly interconnected using telecommunication networks, Cloud Computing and the internet, there has been a rapid growth in security software and the electronic communications market. Companies, governments and research organisations in Ireland and across the world are actively seeking professionals to design, manage and secure networks and telecommunications systems.
+The BSc in Cyber Security and IT Forensics Degree in UL is about teaching you how to build secure systems to protect vital information, like bank details and medical records. You will be equipped with the expertise to be a leader in the on-going mobile networking revolution. You will be taught key concepts in computer and web security, such as: Software Development, Data Forensics, Ethical Hacking, Encryption, Computer Law and Ethics, Cloud Computing fundamentals and security. By the end of this course you will be well placed to build the secure and safe networks and systems of the future, in addition to tackling web and computer-based crime. Our well-equipped and modern laboratory facilities will enable you to acquire practical experience that will make you very competitive in today’s and tomorrow’s job market.
+Entry route to Cyber Security and IT Forensics at UL is via LM121 Computer Science Common Entry

+You will study the modules presented in Year 1 of the Common Entry route to Cyber Security and IT Forensics. The emphasis in Year 1 is on programming, an understanding of its basis, and the study of the physical machine on which programs run. Your study of Cybersecurity modules begins in semester 3 and runs throughout the course – including topics in Cryptography, Data Forensics, Cybersecurity Law and Regulations, and Host and Network Security. As you need to understand the platforms to which cybersecurity measures are applied, you will also study operating systems, networks, and web and mobile technologies throughout the course. Plenty of hands-on practical laboratory experience is provided throughout the course. 
+During the final year, you will have the opportunity to apply the skills learned in the previous three years in the specialist security and networking modules by undertaking a final year project which develops skills in design, implementation, testing and reporting. Each student will work with the guidance of an individual supervisor. The final year project will help you to pull together the skills and techniques that you have acquired throughout the course. 
+As with other UL courses, a Cooperative Education placement provides 30 weeks of industrial work experience. In this course, Coop takes place in the second semester of 3rd year and through the summer break preceding 4th year.

+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+

+
+
+
+

+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+

+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+I'm currently working as an Atlassian Consultant for VMotion IT Solutions - a software solutions and services company in Limerick.
+Every day is different as I'm working with enterprise clients all over Ireland and advising them on best practices regarding software development, ITSM (IT Service Management Software) and security.
+My job requires a lot of client interaction whether it be on-site or remote via teams/zoom calls. Technical skills and soft skills go hand in hand here and I believe I've acquired these critical technical skills during my studies at the University of Limerick.
+I personally found the Cloud Computing, Computer Forensics and Host & Network Security modules quite engaging as they are very much up-to date with the technology in the real-world, such as AWS, which I found extremely beneficial when transitioning that knowledge into practice in the working world as we also had the opportunity to acquire industry leading certifications as part of our studies.
+These modules stood out to me as they were very hands-on and offered a chance to really put the theory into practice, like creating our own exploits to try and encourage us to think outside the box.
+It's important to stand-out as a graduate these days as employers are on the look-out for individuals that can back-up their learning with real-life experience and I found that this course set me up for success from the very beginning.

+I am currently working as a Security Delivery Specialist at Accenture, a global professional services company. Throughout my journey here, I've been immersed in a diverse array of projects, all of which have been centred around bolstering security for our clients. These experiences have been enriched by the skills I cultivated during my time at UL's comprehensive course.
+My time at Accenture has not only provided invaluable exposure but also a platform for continuous learning. Starting out, I must admit, I felt a tad unprepared, but I was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly my academic knowledge from UL integrated into the industry landscape.
+During my Co-Op tenure at Kemp Technologies in Limerick, I had the privilege of honing my soft skills and deepening my understanding of networks. A highlight of this period was the creation of my very own extensive virtual lab, crafted from scratch to facilitate hands-on practice.
+My academic journey at UL, specifically in Cyber Security & IT Forensics, laid a robust groundwork across various pivotal aspects within the security and technology realms. The course is designed to be forward-looking, in sync with the latest trends, and aligned with the ongoing global security landscape.

+My official job title is Associate Cyber Security Engineer with Northern Trust - a large financial services company.
+My job is filled with a variety of tasks across multiple different platforms such as, on-premise datacenter management, Azure cloud and Google Chronicle. It can also vary from creating a data flow solution from a source application or machine to be ingested into the Azure SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) software, creating a custom written Python or PowerShell solution to manipulate data, or to work alongside the Blue Team during alert investigations. Day-to-day variety is what I particularly enjoy which is what my course placed emphasis on through teaching networking concepts, programming, forensics, team-work and project management.
+My placement was actually within Northern Trust as well during which I got the chance to experience the accounting solutions engineering team which showed me how project management is carried out within companies. This also led me to the place I am today as I was invited to return as a full-time employee after my graduation.
+During my studies, I had sparked an interest in electronics, specifically the hardware side which led me to doing an FYP around a “Thermal Vision” device with communications over a low-power wireless network. The interests developed and the skills learnt as a result of doing this course were a reason behind my journey to where I am today.

+Electricity is going to play a huge role in the transition to a sustainable future. In Ireland, and around the world, renewable sources of generation such as wind and solar are coming on stream at a phenomenal rate, electricity networks are being transformed into smart grids, and demand for electricity is soaring as transport and heat are being electrified in the race to zero carbon emissions. With the clear potential for abundant offshore wind generated electricity, especially off our Atlantic Coast, Ireland is positioned to become globally important for many industrial sectors who want to enjoy these benefits and play their role in this sustainable future. This degree in Electrical Engineering will provide you with the knowledge and skills to play a part in this story and prepare you for a successful and rewarding career with a wide range of potential opportunities.  
+The programme can be undertaken as either a four-year (Bachelor of Engineering, BE) degree programme or a five-year (Master of Engineering, ME) degree programme. All students would initially enter the BE degree programme route, and can either graduate with a BE degree at the end of the fourth year of study or have the option to continue into the fifth year Masters degree by transferring into the ME degree programme at the end of the fourth year rather than graduating with a BE degree. The Masters route is advised for those who would like to purse the option of becoming a Chartered Engineer with Engineers Ireland after a suitable period of professional experience. 
+You may also choose to continue with further study and pursue a PhD and subsequently a research or academic career.

+This programme of study will cover all the major components to allow you to become a successful Electrical Engineer. These include all the traditional topics such Electrical Machines, Electrical Power Systems, Power Electronics, Energy Management, Energy Storage and Electrical Automation. Given the increasingly important role of data in the generation and use of electricity it also includes much more modern topics such as Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence which are necessary to make electricity systems smarter and more secure. All of these topics build on foundational engineering modules which are taken in years 1 and 2 of the programme. 
+Work experience is obtained through an eight-month period of Cooperative Education (Co-op), which is an integral part of the programme. Co-op will provide students with real-world industrial experience and practice. This will be taken in the summer at the end of second year and the first semester of the third year of the programme. 
+In year four, the final year of the BE programme, students aiming to graduate with a BE degree will undertake a major individual project, which in general aims to solve a real-world problem. The project involves advanced design and implementation work and builds confidence by putting into practice the skills and knowledge that have been acquired throughout the programme of study. 
+Master of Engineering (ME) Track (year five). The ME track enables students to gain a broader and deeper understanding of a range of advanced topics in energy including “Electrification of Transport”, “Wind, Ocean and Hydro Energy”, “Solar and Nuclear Energy” amongst others. Students will also undertake a major individual project. Students will select the ME track in year three of the programme, and will study the ME track subjects in year 4.

+Employability skills from this degree
+Future graduates of the BE/ME Electrical Engineering programme are expected to be in high demand as we transition to a more sustainable energy system. will prepare you for a wide range of potential careers across this sector. You might go to work in power generation, distribution, energy storage or energy management. 
+We also anticipate major sources of employment in the mid-west region in line with the ambition to make the Shannon Estuary a hub for harnessing the potential of offshore wind generated electricity. Such major industrial projects such as the production of green hydrogen or sustainable aviation fuels will also require electrical engineering graduates.  
+Engineers often move quickly into senior management and consultancy positions, using their analytical approach to project management and problem solving. There are also worldwide opportunities for advanced study and research, and graduates can diversify into many other areas such as business, medicine and law. 
+The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) programmes in UL are accredited by Engineers Ireland (EI). This is an internationally recognised professional engineering accreditation. We plan for the new BE/ME in Electrical Engineering to become accredited once students have graduated from the programme, in accordance with Engineers Ireland rules.

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Computer Vision is an extremely popular  Artificial Intelligence and Computer Engineering subfield that allows a computing system to interpret images and infer high-level reasoning.  It is widely used in many diverse industries: manufacturing, social media, automotive, virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics, medicine, security, aerospace, consumer electronics, and increasingly in fields such as agriculture, retail, automated driving, and fitness/sport.
+A cursory search on any job listing site will demonstrate that there are hundreds of jobs that list computer vision and image processing as required skills in Ireland, and many thousands in the UK, Europe and beyond. This programme, therefore, is suitable for those who want to upskill and pursue a career in computer vision and/or artificial intelligence, working in engineering and technical roles, or graduates with a degree in numerate disciplines including Engineering, Computer science, and Physics.
+In the first semester, you will study technical concepts in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision. In the second semester, you will take a deeper dive into applications of computer vision and AI, while also delving into transferrable skills in governance, ethics, and research methods. In the Summer Semester, students will either complete a capstone project in the areas of Computer Vision and/or Artificial Intelligence, or they will generate a portfolio through the Digital Futures and Innovation stream.

+Brief Description
+*This programme is currently under review and restructure. It will run in Autumn 2024 however the structure may be altered from the below. 
+This MEng provides in-depth knowledge of emerging  security threats and solutions for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems.  Equips students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to identify, develop and implement highly secure systems and networks that serve enterprise goals.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Security has recently become a top priority as communication and information have become a key factor in economic and societal development. Networks and information systems are now supporting services and carrying data to an extent inconceivable only a few years ago. Concerns about security of electronic networks and information systems have been growing along with the rapid increase in the number of network users and the value of their transactions. Security has now reached a critical point where it represents a prerequisite for the growth of electronic businesses and the functioning of whole economies. Maintaining secure systems and guarding company information are considered critical in today's business environments. Most companies, especially those in banking, defence, e-commerce and telecommunications, are making systems security a top priority. Consequently, there is a great need for skilled professionals who can plan, analyse and implement security measures.
+The MEng in Cyber Security programme aims to provide graduates with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to contribute as technical leaders and researchers in systems security management.

+Brief Description
+*This programme is currently under review and restructure. It will run in Autumn 2024 however the structure may be altered from the below. 
+This MEng provides in-depth knowledge of emerging  security threats and solutions for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems.  Equips students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to identify, develop and implement highly secure systems and networks that serve enterprise goals.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Security has recently become a top priority as communication and information have become a key factor in economic and societal development. Networks and information systems are now supporting services and carrying data to an extent inconceivable only a few years ago. Concerns about security of electronic networks and information systems have been growing along with the rapid increase in the number of network users and the value of their transactions. Security has now reached a critical point where it represents a prerequisite for the growth of electronic businesses and the functioning of whole economies. Maintaining secure systems and guarding company information are considered critical in today's business environments. Most companies, especially those in banking, defence, e-commerce and telecommunications, are making systems security a top priority. Consequently, there is a great need for skilled professionals who can plan, analyse and implement security measures.
+The MEng in Cyber Security programme aims to provide graduates with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to contribute as technical leaders and researchers in systems security management.
+
+

+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The programme runs over 2 years with 5 teaching semesters and 1 research project semester, including the Certificate in Artificial Intelligence in semester 1.
+Aimed at existing information technology professionals and those migrating from associated disciplines with the necessary computing and mathematics competencies, this programme will provide participants with robust knowledge and skills in the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
+Certificate in Artificial Intelligence
+Participants must complete the preparatory Certificate in Artificial Intelligence to the equivalent of a 2nd class honours level to be eligible for entry to the Masters, regardless of their prior qualifications or experience. Successful completion of the preparatory Course will lead to the award of a Certificate in Artificial Intelligence by UL (Special Purpose Award, Level 8, 12 ECT credits). The 12 credits gained by completing the two Certificate modules will count towards the 90 credits of the MSc in Artificial Intelligence.
+Delivery
+One distinguishing quality of this programme is that each and every module delivered on this programme was designed specifically for this programme.  ICT Skillnet and our Industry Advisory Board provided extensive input to ensure content is relevant to industry, and online delivery is at the core of the pedagogical approach. As a result, all modules are structured around a number of so-called E-tivities. These allow you to explore relevant subjects in a self-driven manner, with expert support from module leaders and moderators who guide students in smaller groups. This type of learning has been demonstrated to be an extremely efficient method of learning.
+The programme is delivered primarily via on-line lectures, supported with tutorials and assignments. Assessment is largely based on assignments and project work with a practical rather than theoretical focus.
+Modules will be delivered with associated assessment of mastery so that semester by semester there is a confirmed and measurable achievement of learning objectives that can be transferred directly and immediately to the workplace.
+Expected study time is 15-20 hours per week/module.
+A major dissertation project will be selected and specified within the first year and completed throughout the second year.

+If you are a person that combines creative imagination and analytical rigour; if you are a good observer; and if you are inspired by the prospect of changing the world we live in, then UL’s problem-oriented approach to architecture may just be right for you. Architecture requires a lot of dedication, and is a very hands-on course that relies on constructional understanding, based on lots of model making and material experiments.
+Why study Architecture at UL?
+The School of Architecture offers a 5-year undergraduate degree in architecture. The objective of the School is to educate architects with a strong set of integrated skills, balanced with a clear understanding of the environment - built, existing and imagined - and vital to professional practice. The Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (RIAI) has awarded full accreditation to the architecture programme at UL. Studying architecture in an accredited programme is the first step towards becoming a registered professional architect.
+The School of Architecture embraces all parts of an architect’s education; it is a place where the study of architecture is undertaken with passion and inventiveness, open and transparent society of mobile thinkers. The School of Architecture teaches an architecture that is integrated with Environmental and Structural engineering, as disciplines that set us free from the limitations of our own knowledge and help us to achieve a balance with the environment by focusing human abilities.

+Training as an architect is engaging in a process of ‘learning by doing’ with the course curriculum structured around the design studio. The design studio is a creative laboratory where learning is developed through experimentation and reflection. Woven into the design studio will be courses of study in structures (structural engineering), environmental science (environmental engineering), history (of architecture, society, technology), and philosophy, sociology, law and management (professional practice).
+The course is designed to equip you with a broad range of skills fundamental to becoming an architect. These skills include hand drawing, sketching, model-making, photography, computer-aided drawing, audiovisual and verbal presentation, as well as core skills including conceptualising and designing, problem-solving and working with other people.

+                                Course requirements.
+
+
+Review the three groups of criteria to determine your fee status as follows
+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Aisling Duffy
+Aisling graduated from University of Limerick with a BArch in 2021. During her time in college she developed an interest in sustainability and biodiversity and based on her final year thesis on architecture influenced by nature and the environment. On her year out from college after 3rd year, she working in Limerick and a 'part 1' architectural assistant and spent time travelling Europe. She has a keen interest in writing and in 2021 was awarded the RIAI Architecture Ireland student writer prize. While in UL, Aisling was involved in various student groups, acting as treasurer on the society of Architecture committee and also as a committee member for the Outdoor Pursuits Club. Her hobbies include rock climbing, hiking and painting. She is currently working for Drake Hourigan Architects in Limerick as an architectural assistant, working towards becoming a registered architect. She is also a part time tutor for first year students in SAUL and hopes to go onto further study in the area of sustainability or conservation.

+Martin Lennon
+The first day I arrived at our SAUL (School of Architecture UL) studio I sensed I would enjoy my time in Architecture School. The Studio embodies everything that the school and the education stand for. The Architectural education here is not about divulging information individually, rather it is about sharing knowledge, opinion and ideas amongst our colleagues. Within the studio there are always lectures and tutorials taking place, however, the essence of what our education here is about, lies in the conversations and debate (sometimes heated!) that occurs alongside our timetable. All the architecture students, from freshers to 5th year, working in the same space really solidifies the school’s diverse social atmosphere - I find that we learn from each other as much as we do from our lecturers!
+I have had an incredibly wholesome experience here and have always felt encouraged to explore and to test things. After the 3rd year, I decided to take a year off from school and gain some experience within a practice. I travelled to Sydney Australia and worked for 6 months as an architectural assistant. Personally, I feel it was really beneficial to pause academically and further my education through a practice and through travel also. The experience away has allowed me to return to SAUL with a fresh vigour and renewed confidence!!

+Why study Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at UL?
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+This programme is the only course of its kind in the Mid-West and Western regions of the country. Process engineering is the central area of expertise underpinning many important, sustainable industries and businesses within both the Irish and global economies. Such enterprises include: biopharmaceuticals, fuels, chemicals, and drug manufacture, energy production, food and beverage processing, environmental waste remediation, and electronic component manufacture.
+The Irish pharmaceutical, chemical and biochemical industries have been primarily responsible for the recent consistent increases in the national export performance, proving these sectors to be stable and resilient, even in harsh economic conditions.
+In all of these areas, the chemical/biochemical engineer is of key importance both in the design and operation of the processing systems and in the development and manufacture of novel products.
+This programme is IChemE accredited to ensure international professional recognition for graduates of the degree.

+This four year honours degree programme comprises formal lectures/study, practical laboratories, workshops, training on industry-standard process engineering software, project work, as well as a substantial Cooperative Education period working in an industrial placement.
+Years 1 and 2 provide a comprehensive grounding in all of the subjects required for a career as a professional chemical/biochemical engineer. As well as rigorous training in mathematics, process engineering, computation methods, chemistry, biochemistry, and physics, closely allied subjects are also studied, including bioprocess engineering, engineering materials and process design methods.
+Beginning in year 2 and continuing throughout year 3, you will gain knowledge in fluid mechanics and heat transfer, reaction engineering and mass transfer separation. The programme also offers some advanced-level modules in the areas of pharmaceutical manufacture, formulation and sustainable methods for energy and fuel production. In year 3 you will take part in Cooperative Education placement - a training period where you will work as a chemical/biochemical engineer on one or more project-related tasks within a company, enterprise or institution.
+In year 4 you will undertake a design project, in which you will work as part of a team to carry out the comprehensive design of a sustainable process for the large-scale production of a chemical or biochemical-based product. This project will give you an opportunity to develop and hone your skills in other important areas of professional engineering practice.

+Jenna Bromell
+When considering what path to take at university, I wanted to choose a career which would:
+
+
+Be challenging
+Involving problem solving
+Lead to plenty of diverse opportunities afterwards
+
+
+Chemical engineering was a degree that ticked all these boxes for me.
+I loved applied math in school as I loved applying a problem-solving mindset to real life applications. Chemical engineering was a path which fulfilled this for me. Being a chemical engineer is all about being faced with a problem and applying structured problem-solving methodologies to develop the most economical solution, taking all practicalities and constraints into account. It does not matter what the nature of the problem is - chemical engineering equips you with the problem-solving mindset to be able to tackle challenges in any industry.
+There is also so much opportunity for career progression as a chemical engineer. A chemical engineering degree lays strong foundations to set you up for success long term. Whether you would like to work in a smaller company, in a multinational company or as a consultant, there is freedom to choose a path which appeals to you.
+Regardless of the specific direction you choose within the field of chemical engineering, the knowledge and skills you acquire will enable you to make a positive impact on society. In essence, through chemical engineering, we can convert our understanding of chemistry and biochemistry into tangible improvements to people’s lives.

+Jack O'Callaghan
+Jack was awarded a BEng in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (1st Class Honours) from the University of Limerick in August 2020.
+“The advantage of doing a chemical engineering degree at UL is the freedom of choice. The foundation of knowledge and transferrable skills developed in LM115 affords opportunities far beyond the conventional pharmaceutical and process industries. The practical lab experience, hands-on design projects and exposure to leading commercial software set the BEng in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering apart as a well-regarded, highly employable degree. My time with LM115 has opened many doors (both in research and in industry) and I am grateful that my degree has enabled me to pursue what I am passionate about, rather than obligating me to pursue one specific career or another.”
+Jack O’ Callaghan is a bioengineering PhD candidate at the Bernal Institute He is a recipient of a Government of Ireland Postgraduate (GOIPG) research scholarship from the Irish Research Council where he is exploring novel strategies for drug design and translational medicine. Jack is also involved in research relating to the pathogenesis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

+Are you interested in Science? Would you like to understand how living things work, evolve and function at the molecular or cellular level? Are you interested in a career that can really make a practical contribution to helping address the challenges that presently face the world, for example, the discovery of new drugs to fight disease, inventing new materials for biomedical devices, developing greener systems to protect the quality of our environment? Do you want a challenging career and one tailored to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of employers? Then this programme might be for you.
+Why Study Biological and Chemical Sciences at UL?
+This entry route is designed to provide you with a gateway to better choice if you’re unsure which area you’d like to study. You can avail of a broad common first year which will introduce you to various topics in Biological and Chemical Sciences. Having gained a better understanding of each subject area, you then choose your preferred pathway to specialise for the remaining 3 years of your degree programme. At UL, you get to try before you decide.
+Science requires a fundamental understanding of the key areas of biology and chemistry and the LM123 Biological and Chemical Sciences at the University of Limerick offers prospective students an opportunity to develop a core competency in both scientific areas in their first year at University. LM123 Biological and Chemical Sciences is a gateway from Year 2 to a degree in either:
+BSc Bioscience OR
+BSc Environmental Science OR
+BSc Industrial Biochemistry OR
+BSc Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry OR
+BSc Biomedical Science (after completing years 2 and 3 in Bioscience)
+Having selected LM123 Biological and Chemical Sciences you will be requested to rank the 4 degree options in order of your preference during Semester 2. In the event that a programme is over-subscribed, places will be allocated based on UL exam performance.
+Choose your preferred degree pathway from one of the following four options;
+The B.Sc. Industrial Biochemistry focuses upon the study of living cells (or components of living cells) and the medical/industrial applications of such substances. It is designed to prepare you for a career in biotechnology and allied industries, and has a very strong employment record.
+The B.Sc. Environmental Science will provide you with a strong scientific understanding of environmental issues at local, national and global level and will give you a full knowledge of technological and management methods available to help improve the quality of our environment.
+In the B.Sc. in Pharmaceutical & Industrial Chemistry fundamental and applied aspects of organic, inorganic, physical, analytical chemistry and materials chemistry are covered as well as key chemical engineering topics. These programmes will qualify you for employment in a variety of professional careers in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors.
+With the B.Sc. in Biosciences degree the emphasis is on cell biology and molecular medicine. Ireland is one of the leading international locations for the Life Science industry, which spans biopharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical devices and biotechnology. Biosciences is extremely important to Ireland’s economy and its future growth.
+The degree would provide an excellent foundation for students considering application to graduate entry medical school or to a post-graduate career in Bioscience/Life Sciences area.
+Underpinning the LM123 Biological and Chemical Sciences programme are two very important student facilities. The first is access to the Science & Maths Learning Support Centres which offers all students an opportunity to further enhance their scientific and mathematical knowledge in the core scientific areas. Secondly, in all of the subsequent degree options outlined above, industrial work experience over an eight month period is provided through a relevant work placement as part of the Cooperative Education programme. There are many benefits to this programme for the student including the opportunity to apply academic knowledge to the work environment as well as developing many important skills including teamwork, problem- solving and communication skills. It also provides the student with very valuable work experience which increases their future graduate employment prospects.

+Students entering the programme will undertake specific modules in the areas of chemistry, biology, maths and physics. As the subsequent degree programme choices focus heavily on biology or chemistry (or a combination of both), the biology and chemistry subjects taken in LM123 are designed to facilitate students in developing a fundamental competency in these areas. In conjunction with these core scientific modules, there will also be an interesting set of modules designed to give students a clear understanding of the key areas and content of the subsequent degree programme options of industrial biochemistry, pharmaceutical & industrial chemistry, biosciences and environmental science.

+

+These are based on
+                                Residency,
+                                Citizenship,
+                                Course requirements.
+
+
+Review the three groups of criteria to determine your fee status as follows
+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Having studied a broad common first semester, students will undertake specific modules in the area of chemistry, biology, maths and physics. Subsequently, the Bioscience programme will provide you with a strong foundation in the understanding of biochemical systems and microbial technology. With tailored contributions from industry speakers, the degree specific modules will instruct students on advanced molecular biology, host-microbe interactions, immunobiology, new therapeutic approaches, cell biology & cancer, and ‘omics’ & bioinformatics. 
+Core modules include:
+Advanced cell and molecular biology – examines cellular structures (organelles, cytoskeleton, molecular motors), key cellular processes (trafficking, motility, apoptosis), systems biology of organisms and extracting meaningful data from large data sets to understand how diseases impact the brain.  
+Cancer mechanisms, therapeutics and molecular medicine – examines cell cycle controls in relation to cancer biology, and use of modern molecular technologies in targeting cancer and other diseases. 
+Cell and molecular biology of the immune system - examines the principles of self and non-self-recognition and how these mechanisms are involved in immunity and how aberrant self- regulation contributes to allergy and autoimmunity. 
+Cell communication and regulation - covers basic cell structure, the principles of the cell cycle and cell division, the control of living processes by genetic mechanisms, and cell communication systems. 
+Current trends in biotechnology and regenerative medicine – presents concepts such as ‘cell-on-a-chip’ technologies, tissue regeneration, new medicines, and new molecular analysis techniques. 
+Host microbe interactions – presents the key strategies microbes use to establish both beneficial and non-beneficial interactions with the host and the impact of these on health. 
+Microbiology and immunology – an introduction to the components of microorganisms and the host immune systems and how they interact. 
+Pharmacology and drug development – presents the biology behind drug target choice, drug screening techniques and the different classes of drugs, including protein-based drugs to target the brain and other organs. 
+The course includes significant laboratory based training and an independent research project. In addition the student will be placed in industry for eight months, giving real-world experience and an introduction to the BioPharma/industrial community.

+Are you interested in Science? Are you concerned about the quality of our environment? Would you like a career helping to make improvements to our environment for the benefit of this and future generations? Do you want to understand more about the global and national challenges of climate change and sustainability? Then perhaps you should study Environmental Science at UL.
+Entry route to this degree at UL is via LM123 Biological and Chemical Sciences Common Entry.
+There is also a direct entry route to this course via LM066 Environmental Science. 
+Why Study Environmental Science at UL?
+Maintaining both the quality of life and a clean and healthy environment is now a major concern of Government, employers, non-governmental organisations and citizens. The EU now has a very comprehensive environmental policy, and as a Member State, Ireland is obliged to act in accordance with this policy.
+More stringent environmental requirements are being placed on industry and community in areas such as energy usage, waste minimisation, waste management, recycling, sustainability, water and air quality. Consequently, there is a strong demand for graduates with a scientific understanding of environmental and health and safety issues, together with a full knowledge of technological and management methods available to help improve the quality of our environment. What makes Environmental Science at the University of Limerick distinctive is its relevance to industry and business, through a focus on environmental technology, environmental management, sustainability and health & safety in the workplace.
+Having followed a broad common first year, you will be provided with a strong foundation in biology, chemistry and ecology, and with an in-depth knowledge in environmental technology, environmental management, conservation and sustainability, and waste management.
+The main areas of study will include
+
+
+Environmental Science - the application of the fundamental sciences to environmental issues
+Environmental Management – the assessment of a broad range of issues around global warming and sustainability, and how strategies can be developed and implemented to protect and sustain all aspects of the environment.
+Clean Technology - the use of cleaner technologies and processes to minimise the negative impacts of technology on the environment
+Waste Management - the study of the physical methodologies and techniques for dealing with increasing levels of waste generated by the manufacturer and consumer
+Health & Safety - a complementary area to environmental science which specifically deals with significant health and safety issues both in the workplace and in outdoor environments.

+The degree programme is four years in duration. Early modules are concerned with building up your understanding of science relevant to the environment (biology, ecology, chemistry, computing, mathematics and physics). The basic concepts used in these subjects are applied to specific environmental science applications. Later modules in the programme focus on the areas of environmental management, environmental technology, environmental impact assessment, waste management, sustainability and conservation ecology, environmental monitoring and health & safety.
+In the third year, the University organises Cooperative Education for all students. This is a period of approximately eight months of paid employment for you in a position which is relevant to environmental science. This placement benefits you in a number of ways in that it
+
+
+facilitates you in applying techniques and knowledge acquired in the University to the workplace environment,
+provides you with significant environmental experience which may be of help when seeking a position on graduation, and
+gives you the opportunity to work as part of a team to solve real problems in the workplace.
+
+
+In the final year of the programme you will undertake a research project in some aspect of environmental science. The project is supervised by an academic member of staff with specific expertise in the area and the project runs over both semesters.

+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status

+Niamh O'Sullivan
+The main reason I chose UL is the Co-Op opportunity. A few third level institutions offer Environmental Science, however UL’s degree includes 8 months’ work experience. This meant that when I graduated, I would have gained skills that can only be developed in industry and I also would have relevant work experience in my future field. UL courses are focused on developing industry-ready graduates.
+I was always interested in science in school, having studied both chemistry and biology, however I really enjoyed geography for my leaving cert. This course features all three subjects, along with field work and lab work, which I really enjoyed in school. Chemistry also features strongly, and even if you don’t have a strong chemistry background, the lecturers do their best to get everyone up to the same level.
+My co-op experience was probably the highlight of my course experience. I worked at Irish Cement Ltd, in Drogheda Co. Louth, for my placement. Working with the plant’s Environmental Manager as part of the Environmental team, it was a great opportunity to see how environmental protection is applied to large scale industry. The job of an environmental scientist is to look at all aspects, from pollution to economy to infrastructure and quality of living, and that decisions need to be the best for everyone.
+I was busy with lots of opportunities to learn both inside the office and out. I gained hands-on experience with sample collections and also got experience in filling out my first Annual Environmental Report. During my placement I also had the opportunity to work with the EPA and Natura and was invited to the annual environmental review meeting held between the Limerick and Drogheda Irish Cement sites.
+My favorite part of my Co-op was the opportunity to meet and work with consultants in the field. My goal is to own my own environmental consultancy, so it was great to see that there were so many areas, from water testing to dust sample testing to biodiversity reports.
+Choosing UL gave me the opportunity to work with excellent people who did their best to share their knowledge and professional experience with me.

+My name is Claudia Carey, I completed my secondary level education in Salesians Secondary School Fernbank in 2016, and I am a graduate of the University of Limericks Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science Course. I graduated from the course with 1st Class Honors in 2020, and I am currently employed as a Fibre Planner with TLI Group. As a Fibre Planner I work on the behalf of National Broadband Ireland (NBI) to deliver the National Broadband Plan, providing high-speed and secure broadband connection across rural Ireland.
+I chose to attend my third level education at the University of Limerick as it is a globally recognized university, with great support systems and services, world class facilities and an excellent living environment.
+The course in Environmental Science got my attention, as I have had a lifelong interest in both the general sciences and the natural world. This along with the range of subjects covered in the course, from Conservation Ecology to Environmental Management, and the potential post graduate opportunities, is what lead me to decide that this was the course I wanted to pursue. For my Co-Op Placement, I spent 9 months working as an Environmental Technician in a Limerick based environmental monitoring company called AXIS Environmental Services. During my time there I went on site visits to carry out a variety of environmental monitoring tasks, wrote technical reports, and liaised with organisations, including the Environmental Protection Agency and various County and City Councils.
+My Final Year Project was based on using a mapping software known as QGIS to evaluate site suitability for solar farms. By selecting relevant construction factors and creating individual maps for each, I was successful in producing a rating system to assess the appropriateness of selected sites to support the construction of a solar farm.
+Through the University of Limericks Environmental Science Course, I have been given the chance to broaden my understanding of the environment, the importance of maintaining it, and have been able to further my career as a result.

+Are you interested in biological sciences and wish to delve deeper? Would you like to understand how living things work, evolve and function at the molecular level? Do you want to prepare for a future where molecular biology will be at the coalface of human endeavour? Then this course might be for you.
+Why Study Industrial Biochemistry at UL?
+The B.Sc. In Industrial Biochemistry is a degree programme in biotechnology. It focuses upon the study of living cells (or components of living cells) and the medical/industrial applications of such substances. It is designed to prepare you for a career in the biotechnology sector and allied industries and has a very strong employment record.
+Examples of traditional biotechnological processes include the use of microorganisms to produce alcohol or antibiotics. Examples of more modern biotechnological processes include the use of genetic engineering to produce protein-based drugs or “Biopharmaceuticals” (e.g. Insulins or Interferons), engineered plants, which are drought or pesticide resistant or transgenic animals displaying some novel characteristic, such as faster growth.
+The core subjects studied include:
+Biochemistry (study of the structure and biological function of cellular molecules such as proteins and DNA, and how these molecules interact to form living cells)
+Industrial biochemistry (study of the applications of biological molecules for medical, industrial, environmental, agricultural or analytical purposes)
+Microbial technology (study of microbiology and the uses of bacteria, fungi, yeast and viruses)
+Genetic engineering (identification, isolation, engineering and expression of genes in order to gain new insights into gene function or for the generation of gene-mediated industrial/medical products)
+Bioprocess technology (aspects of industrial-scale biotechnology manufacturing/processing)
+Analytical science (methods and techniques used to detect and quantify biological molecules/chemicals in samples, for example, measurement of hormone levels in blood or pesticide levels in water)
+In addition to these, a number of other relevant subjects are also undertaken, including computing, chemistry, maths and bioinformatics.

+
+The programme is of four years duration.The first year (through LM123 Common Entry) provides you with the required academic foundation in:
+
+
+Biology
+Introductory industrial biochemistry
+Computing
+Chemistry
+Mathematics
+Introductory physics
+
+
+The second year builds upon these fundamentals, introducing you to courses in:
+
+
+Biochemistry
+Microbial metabolism and technology
+Bioprocess technology
+Analytical sciences
+
+
+During the third and fourth years you will undertake additional specialised modules in biochemistry, genetic engineering, diagnostics, applied immunology and bioinformatics. In the final year a stream of elective modules allows the student to specialise in topics such as Biomaterials (new materials in the medical device industry), entrepreneurship, waste management and specialised biochemistry modules. A project, which is undertaken throughout the final year, allows students to analyse a problem in depth and, if interested in postgraduate research, gives you the opportunity to carry out an exploratory investigation of a potential research topic.
+During the spring semester of year 3 and the subsequent summer, a period of Cooperative Education (student placement in industry) provides experience of the practice and application of industrial biochemistry in a working environment. Such relevant industrial experience, gained either at home or abroad, has proven particularly beneficial to students seeking employment in industry after completing their studies.
+By the end of this course
+You will have a deep knowledge of the concepts, facts and technologies that underpin industrial biochemistry. These areas include biochemistry, microbiology, genetic engineering, biotechnology and biochemical engineering. From here you will be very well placed to gain employment directly in industry, or go on to further studies, either within Ireland or internationally.

+                                Course requirements.
+
+
+Review the three groups of criteria to determine your fee status as follows
+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status

+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+I chose to study Industrial Biochemistry at UL because I was impressed by the wide variety of modules and was aware of the growing Biopharmaceutical industry in Ireland. I felt the course would provide me with the knowledge and skills that I would need to have a successful career. In addition to this, Biology and Chemistry were my favourite subjects in secondary school, and I wanted to continue to study them at a higher level in college.
+UL’s degree in Industrial Biochemistry provides students with brilliant hands-on laboratory experience, especially in Years 1–3. In Year 4, each student gets the opportunity to complete an individual research project and gets to choose from a wide range of interesting elective modules. This is a great opportunity to take ownership of your degree and it allows everyone to learn about topics that interest them most. The lecturers and technical support staff at UL are incredibly supportive and generous with their time. All these aspects of the course ensure students have a well-rounded degree.
+My favourite experience at UL was my Co-op placement. I completed my eight-month Co-op placement in Regeneron’s Industrial Operations and Product Supply (IOPS) site in Limerick, where I was an intern in the Formulation and Filling team in the Large-Scale manufacturing department. I worked alongside biotech production specialists (BPS), who carried out the manufacturing process of biologic-based medicines in a cleanroom environment. In addition to supporting my fellow teammates, I was also given individual tasks, which included working on a continuous improvement project, reviewing documents, and submitting samples for analysis. I also had the opportunity to develop soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and troubleshooting. The entire experience re-enforced everything that I learned in my degree and highlighted its versatility.
+Overall, I believe the key strength of this course is that students have a broad range of career paths available to them after graduation, including the opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies.
+I am currently an Irish Research Council-funded Ph.D. student at the Bernal Institute, in UL.

+I studied both biology and chemistry for Leaving Certificate and liked the idea of combining these subjects to study at third level. I always had an interest in Science and knew I was likely to end up working in the industry. This course stood out to me because of the focus on industrial applications of biochemistry and I felt that it would really prepare me for a career in the industry.
+The course contains a broad range of modules from analytical chemistry to microbiology to immunology and industry-relevant modules such as Quality Management. The first three years especially have many labs which give you a practical and hands-on approach to the subjects. Our lecturers are extremely supportive, personable and encouraging - it makes lectures more interactive and less like a school lesson. My favourite modules include Bioprocess Engineering and Industrial Biochemistry. In learning what techniques and equipment are being used in biopharmaceutical companies, it really prepares students for what to expect in the workplace.
+The stand out experience at UL for me has been Co-op where I gained invaluable experience in industry. I was placed in Abbott Diagnostics, Sligo where I worked as a validation engineer. I was involved in authoring technical validation documents and I was directly involved in an FDA audit. I was also involved in a site investigation and the associated CAPAs which was a really good experience. While I wasn’t in a lab working directly with biochemistry, I gained an appreciation for the work that goes on behind the scenes including the validation of the lab equipment. I developed a range of skills including problem-solving skills when validations didn’t go to plan, teamwork skills from working on various departmental CFTs technical writing skills in the authoring of documents. My co-op exposed me to parts of industry which you can only learn so much about in a classroom.

+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.

+Emily Hill
+In 2018 Emily started in the Biological and Chemical Sciences common entry course and later chose one of the four exit routes. Emily completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry in the University of Limerick in 2022. During her time in UL she carried out her eight month co-operative placement in Regeneron as a manufacturing intern.
+Later Emily decided to go on to further study after her undergraduate course. She was awarded an Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship and joined the O’Reilly research group as a 1st year PhD student in September 2022. Her PhD titled ‘Next generation pharmaceutical processing: Bridging clinical practice with predictive modelling tools and continuous manufacture methods’, will focus on the continuous manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients and in particular on spray drying.

+Claire Rooney
+I chose the BSc in Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry because I liked chemistry in school and was always interested in the pharmaceutical industry. The course offered a wide range of chemistry modules and UL???s tutoring programme meant that support was available to help me do well in what I found to be the tougher modules.
+My work here at Abbot is primarily project based. It is very varied and some of my daily tasks include: performing testing on raw materials and finished goods, dealing with representatives from contract labs, statistical trending of results, design of experiments, investigative work, presenting to management and many others.
+My four years at UL equipped me with many of the necessary skills I use at work everyday, such as planning, technical writing, communication and presentation skills.
+Claire's tip
+If I was to give one piece of advice to school leavers it would be to do a course that you think you will like over one you think you will be good at. It is a lot easier to spend time working in college on something that is of interest to you. Enjoy your time in UL - it is a brilliant campus and would still be my choice of college if I were doing the leaving cert this year.
+Claire is currently employed as a Chemist on the graduate programme of Abbot Ireland

+If you have a keen interest in chemistry, this is the degree for you! This course initially deals with the fundamentals of chemistry. Throughout the years it then adds to this with more detail on the subjects through interesting lectures and enjoyable practical laboratories. It also incorporates some basics of process engineering which in the current age is a necessity in industry.
+As well as the interesting laboratory work, the course offers refreshing, new ways of learning. I enjoy the fact that we study topics which are at the forefront of the chemical industry including various analytical methods and nanotechnology. Also, through the final year project, the course will give you the opportunity to find out if you might be interested in research through a postgraduate course after your final degree.
+Co-Op at UL offers a fantastic opportunity to get first-hand industrial experience as part of your degree. On my placement, I worked at Bristol-Myers Squibb Cruiserath in Dublin where I was assigned many varied tasks and projects. I thrived on the level of responsibility given to me as a student on Co-Op and felt I gained excellent experience in this field of pharmaceuticals. Some of the work I was assigned called for analytical skills and I had the opportunity to present my results and findings to management, which further improved my organisational and communication skills.
+Killian is currently completing his Ph.D. in Nanotechnology at the Bernal Institute, in the University of Limerick.

+The main aim of the course is to give you the skills to take projects from design to reality. The course will provide you with a broadly based management and technological education so that you are capable of recognising, evaluating and solving constructional and business problems associated with building and civil engineering projects.
+The course will teach you how to adapt to technological change in a competitive industrial climate.
+Managing construction projects requires a high level of organization, both commercially and technologically. Construction management prepares you to systematically plan, organise and manage resources such as finance, labour, plant and materials. Construction engineering gives you the skills necessary to implement processes and methods of construction to produce a quality building in an efficient and safe manner.

+
+
+
+Year 4 completes the suite of Construction Technology and Building Services modules. The module Procurement and Contracting 2 introduces you to the legislative and contractual constraints and obligations that you will meet in construction projects. Financial Accounting teaches you the key elements necessary for the financial control of projects/business. A module in Project Planning and Control pulls together all aspects of the course so that all elements of the management of construction projects are understood.
+Your final year project over the last two semesters will encourage you in self-directed learning, in identifying and resolving a complex construction-related problem. For many students, the initiative for their project arises during work placement; for others, it is a subject that they have a passion for.

+Bríd Lowry 
+Before finishing my Leaving Cert, I had always envisioned a career in Construction. I decided to study Construction Management and Engineering in UL mainly because of the broad range of modules on offer. One of the main attractions for me was the chance to learn through practical and theoretical methods. 
+Initially, I was drawn to this course over others as it was one of the only course offering engineering modules as part of a Construction Management degree at the time. I enjoyed the many practical elements to the course, both through modules and the 8 month co-op placement. 
+I undertook my co-op with a Civil Construction Contractor in San Francisco where I worked as a Project Engineer. My main roles there included but not limited to site management, bid and cost preparation, developing and monitoring project schedules. I developed many skills during my time in San Francisco both professionally and personally including moving away from home and adapting to a new job in a new country. The skills I learnt on this co-op were hugely beneficial in finishing out my final year of college and even in my current role after college. 
+I now work for a global project delivery company called PM Group as a part of their NEXT Graduate Programme. My role in PM Group is a full-time site based Construction Engineer on a pharmaceutical project. My role involves planning of works as part of the construction management team, logistics coordination, quality assurance and control, liaising with project stakeholders and so on. I am due to commence the Construction Institute of Building (CIOB) Chartership process with the support of PM Group and the CIOB accredited degree from UL. 
+I cannot recommend UL and the Construction Management and Engineering course enough. The experience has really helped me in building a solid foundation for my future career.

+ When completing my CAO application, I had always considered studying at UL as it was close to home, being from Co. Clare. I chose UL’s Construction Management and Engineering Program after attending the UL Open Days and speaking with the Course Director, who, from one conversation, convinced me it was the right course for me because of all the different career paths and opportunities available, especially working abroad.
+UL’s Construction Management and Engineering Program interested me as it allows you to study a wide range of modules from Building Surveying, Contract Law, Structural Mechanics and Design, and so much more for a well-rounded and diverse knowledge of all things construction related. This knowledge helped massively during my eight-month work placement with Modebest, a Reinforced-Concrete Frame and Groundworks subcontractor based in the London Metropolitan Area.
+After graduating, I returned to work with Modebest on a 56-Story tower in Canary Wharf, London. I gained great knowledge and industry experience in small-site logistics, just-in-time deliveries, project planning and coordination from this project. In recent months I have started working on my Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) application to become a member of the CIOB, an organisation I have been a member of since studying at UL.
+My time and experiences at UL have been essential in my professional and personal growth. I cannot recommend this course highly enough for anyone looking for a career within the Construction Industry.

+Are you concerned about the quality of our environment? Do you want to understand more about the global and national challenges of climate change and sustainability?  Would you like a career helping to make improvements to our environment for the benefit of this and future generations? Do you want a challenging career and one tailored to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of employers? Then perhaps you should study Environmental Science at UL.
+The direct entry route to Year 1 of this degree at UL is via LM066 Environmental Science.
+Note: You can also enter LM066 Environmental Science via LM123 Biological and Chemical Sciences Common Entry whereby you choose LM066 Environmental Science as your exit route at the end of Year 1.
+Why Study Environmental Science at UL?
+Maintaining both the quality of life and a clean and healthy environment is now a major concern of Government, employers, non-governmental organisations and citizens. The EU now has a very comprehensive environmental policy, and as a Member State, Ireland is obliged to act in accordance with this policy.
+More stringent environmental requirements are being placed on industry and community in areas such as energy usage, waste minimisation, waste management, recycling, water and air quality. Consequently, there is a strong demand for graduates with a scientific understanding of environmental and health and safety issues, together with a full knowledge of technological and management methods available to help improve the quality of our environment. What makes Environmental Science at the University of Limerick distinctive is its relevance to industry and business, through a focus on environmental technology, environmental management and health & safety in the workplace.
+Having followed a broad common first year, you will be provided with a strong foundation in biology, chemistry and ecology, and with an in-depth knowledge in environmental technology, environmental management, conservation and waste management.
+The main areas of study will include
+
+
+Environmental Science - the application of the fundamental sciences to environmental issues
+Environmental Management - how strategies can be developed and implemented to protect and sustain all aspects of the environment
+Clean Technology - the use of cleaner technologies and processes to minimise the negative impacts of technology on the environment
+Waste Management - the study of the physical methodologies and techniques for dealing with increasing levels of waste generated by the manufacturer and consumer
+Health & Safety - a complementary area to environmental science which specifically deals with significant health and safety issues both in the workplace and in outdoor environments.

+The degree programme is four years in duration. Early modules are concerned with building up your understanding of core science relevant to the environment (biology, ecology, chemistry, computing, mathematics and physics) as well as core subjects in Environmental Science. The basic concepts used in these subjects are applied to specific environmental science applications. Later modules in the programme focus on the areas of environmental management, environmental technology, environmental impact assessment, geographical information systems, waste management, sustainability and conservation ecology environmental monitoring and health & safety.
+In the third year, the University organises Cooperative Education for all students. This is a period of approximately eight months of paid employment for you in a position which is relevant to environmental science. This placement benefits you in a number of ways in that it:
+
+
+facilitates you in applying techniques and knowledge acquired in the University to the workplace environment,
+provides you with significant environmental experience which may be of help when seeking a position on graduation, and
+gives you the opportunity to work as part of a team to solve real problems in the workplace.
+
+
+In the final year of the programme, you will undertake a research project in some aspect of environmental science. The project is supervised by an academic member of staff with specific expertise in the area and the project runs over both semesters.

+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).

+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which

+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Niamh O'Sullivan
+The main reason I chose UL is the Co-Op opportunity. A few third level institutions offer Environmental Science, however UL’s degree includes 8 months’ work experience. This meant that when I graduated, I would have gained skills that can only be developed in industry and I also would have relevant work experience in my future field. UL courses are focused on developing industry-ready graduates.
+I was always interested in science in school, having studied both chemistry and biology, however I really enjoyed geography for my leaving cert. This course features all three subjects, along with field work and lab work, which I really enjoyed in school. Chemistry also features strongly, and even if you don’t have a strong chemistry background, the lecturers do their best to get everyone up to the same level.
+My co-op experience was probably the highlight of my course experience. I worked at Irish Cement Ltd, in Drogheda Co. Louth, for my placement. Working with the plant’s Environmental Manager as part of the Environmental team, it was a great opportunity to see how environmental protection is applied to large scale industry. The job of an environmental scientist is to look at all aspects, from pollution to economy to infrastructure and quality of living, and that decisions need to be the best for everyone.
+I was busy with lots of opportunities to learn both inside the office and out. I gained hands-on experience with sample collections and also got experience in filling out my first Annual Environmental Report. During my placement I also had the opportunity to work with the EPA and Natura and was invited to the annual environmental review meeting held between the Limerick and Drogheda Irish Cement sites.
+My favorite part of my Co-op was the opportunity to meet and work with consultants in the field. My goal is to own my own environmental consultancy, so it was great to see that there were so many areas, from water testing to dust sample testing to biodiversity reports.
+Choosing UL gave me the opportunity to work with excellent people who did their best to share their knowledge and professional experience with me.

+My name is Claudia Carey, I completed my secondary level education in Salesians Secondary School Fernbank in 2016, and I am a graduate of the University of Limericks Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science Course. I graduated from the course with 1st Class Honors in 2020, and I am currently employed as a Fibre Planner with TLI Group. As a Fibre Planner I work on the behalf of National Broadband Ireland (NBI) to deliver the National Broadband Plan, providing high-speed and secure broadband connection across rural Ireland.
+I chose to attend my third level education at the University of Limerick as it is a globally recognized university, with great support systems and services, world class facilities and an excellent living environment.
+The course in Environmental Science got my attention, as I have had a lifelong interest in both the general sciences and the natural world. This along with the range of subjects covered in the course, from Conservation Ecology to Environmental Management, and the potential post graduate opportunities, is what lead me to decide that this was the course I wanted to pursue. For my Co-Op Placement, I spent 9 months working as an Environmental Technician in a Limerick based environmental monitoring company called AXIS Environmental Services. During my time there I went on site visits to carry out a variety of environmental monitoring tasks, wrote technical reports, and liaised with organisations, including the Environmental Protection Agency and various County and City Councils.
+My Final Year Project was based on using a mapping software known as QGIS to evaluate site suitability for solar farms. By selecting relevant construction factors and creating individual maps for each, I was successful in producing a rating system to assess the appropriateness of selected sites to support the construction of a solar farm.
+Through the University of Limericks Environmental Science Course, I have been given the chance to broaden my understanding of the environment, the importance of maintaining it, and have been able to further my career as a result.

+Equine science is a specialization within animal science, which involves the study of the reproduction, physiology, behavior and nutrition of horses.
+Would you like to follow a professional career in the horse industry? The four-year BSc degree in Equine Science provides you with the opportunity to underpin your career aspirations with specialist knowledge and skills. This programme, unique in Europe, has been developed because of the economic importance of the horse and related industries and the consequential need to produce highly qualified personnel with the specialised knowledge to exploit the potential of these industries.
+The overall aim of the programme is to equip you with degree-level competence in the disciplines of Equine Science and a choice of professional studies in either Equitation* (the art or practice of horse riding or horsemanship) or Equine Business Management. Graduates of the programme contribute to the continued development of the horse industry through the application of their knowledge, skills and research in Science, Equitation and Business Management.
+* Entry to the Equitation Science option is dependent on achieving a satisfactory standard in Equitation Science over the first two years.
+
+
+This course provides students with both skills and knowledge that can be applied to many different areas within the equine industry and beyond.

+Having completed the BSc. in Equine Science I gained invaluable experience throughout the course from the core science and business modules to practical hands-on experience with horses. The cooperative work experience was a catalyst in securing my career in science. The transferable skills gained during the 4 year period are still relevant to my job currently working in an equine hospital laboratory. 
+By completing this degree I made contacts with people who work within the equine industry, most of which I am still in contact with. 
+The campus has a lot to offer students. Unlike some other degrees with equine science you will get to know your lecturers really well which will benefit you as help is always available to students. The structure of the course allows students to either continue with the equitation route or the business route maintaining a science core. I chose equitation as this was my interest. The facilities for the practical hands on side of equine science are fantastic and I really enjoyed every module that was involving horses. 
+Graduates from this course have gone on to have a wide variety of careers from stud farm management, racecourse management, veterinary, pharmaceutical and post-graduate study.

+Sean Flannery 
+Having grown up around horses I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career involved in racing. The BSc in Equine Science at the University of Limerick afforded me the opportunity to expand my knowledge of the horse and the many sports they compete in.
+The option to take either a Business or Equitation route after the second year offers an excellent choice and was instrumental in my decision to choose Equine Science at UL over similar courses. 
+There is an ideal balance of group and individual work throughout the course and that will prepare you for working as part of a team as well as using your own initiative in the working world. The range of modules covered on the programme is extensive and I found that the practical elements perfectly complement the theory. This course provides students with both skills and knowledge that can be applied to many different areas within the equine industry and beyond.
+UL’s  Cooperative Education placement was invaluable to me. I split my placement between Coolmore Australia and Goffs in Kildare. I was lucky enough to secure an intern position at Goffs upon graduating. Completing the Equine Science course provided me with the skill set necessary to gain employment as well as advance my career in Goffs. 
+Sean is currently employed as a Bloodstock Manager at Goffs in Kildare.

+Declan Ryan 
+I was involved in horse racing before choosing the Equine Science course at UL. The Equine Science Degree provided me with a wealth of learning relevant to the equine industry and with it, the opportunities to gain practical experience and make contacts within the industry.
+The course provided me with the science behind the practical aspects of the horse. I chose the business management option and it provided me with the skills needed to start an enterprise as a racehorse trainer. During the programme, I spent a full summer period at Coolmore's Ashford Stud in Kentucky.
+During my coop placement, I spent 6 months working with racehorse trainer Jessica Harrington and 2 months working at Del Mar racetrack in California. While on placement at Del Mar, I met Breeders' Cup-winning trainer Bruce Headley, and I am now currently working with Bruce at Santa Anita in California. After this year in California, I plan to return to Ireland to set up a training yard and take out a licence to become a National Hunt trainer.

+Financial Mathematics is a great choice for someone who likes maths and wants to work in the business, financial or banking sectors. Business degrees tend to have very little maths, so most employers are very keen to hire graduates with good quantitative skills as well as a financial background.
+Why Study Financial Mathematics at UL?
+The aims of the degree are to produce graduates with developed mathematical, statistical and computing skills, and the ability to apply them to the quantitative analysis of industrial, commercial or financial business decisions.
+The programme also aims to produce graduates with sufficient mathematical, statistical and computing skills for them to undertake postgraduate work in these or related areas
+These aims give rise to the following objectives:
+
+
+To provide an education at a suitable level in the appropriate branches of mathematics, both by exploring and developing standard methods and techniques with due use of mathematical, symbolic and statistical computing packages and by having due regard to the fundamental ideas of proof, rigour and generalisation.
+To introduce you to state of the art theory and methodologies in the world of pricing of financial products and modelling of markets and the practical implementations of these models.
+To demonstrate the application of mathematics to problems drawn from industry, commerce and financial services.
+To provide you, through Cooperative Education placement, with experience of working in a company or department where your own developing skills can be utilised.

+Module Electives - what are they?
+Electives give you the opportunity to choose modules that you want to study.
+Each Semester you will be given a choice of a number of modules and you will be asked to select a certain amount to study. This can range from 1 module to 4 modules, based on the course.
+For example, you may be given a list of 4 modules, and will be asked to choose 2 to study for the upcoming semester.
+Electives in Financial Mathematics
+You will choose to study one of the 2 modules listed below:
+
+
+Financial Accounting
+Microeconomics
+
+
+If you choose Financial Accounting in term 1, then you will proceed and take Accounting (for Financial Decision Making) in term 2. Similarly, if you take Microeconomics in term 1, you willi take Macroeconomics in term 2.
+Whatever the student's choice, there are no consequences for the rest of the programme, in higher years.
+
+
+
+
+You will learn about trading, asset management and risk analysis of complicated financial products while at the same time developing solid mathematical skills. Typical modules include;
+
+
+Calculus
+Mathematical and Statistical Models of Investments
+Stochastic Differential Equations for Finance
+Numerical Computation
+
+
+While this course is not an Actuarial Programme, graduates can obtain two exemptions from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries: Actuarial Statistics and Business Economics.
+There are many career opportunities in financial trading companies, teaching, investment companies, banks, government financial bodies, actuarial and insurance companies, energy and power companies, agribusinesses etc.

+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria

+Saoirse O'Neill
+My name is Saoirse O’Neill, and I graduated from UL in 2022, having studied Financial Mathematics. During my time at Gort Community School, I always enjoyed studying Maths and once I visited UL for the January 2018 Open Day, I decided that Financial Maths was the course for me.
+I really enjoyed my four years at UL, my classmates and lecturers were always ready to help and were all very friendly. The facilities at UL played a major role in my decision to come to UL, as UL have world-class sporting facilities and the library definitely made it easier to study. I also got involved in numerous clubs and societies during my time at UL, the UL Junior Ladies Football team, UL Tag Rugby and UL Women in STEM Society all helped me to get to know people who I might not have had a chance to meet otherwise.
+One of the advantages of going to UL is Coop Placement, and in my career now, I can see the importance of having experienced the world of work before starting full time employment.
+My Final Year Project was also one of the highlights of my time at UL, as it gave me the opportunity to research a topic that I hadn’t covered in my modules, and I am using skills learned from doing the FYP in my current job. Currently, I am a Data Engineer on the AIB Data & Analytics Graduate Program.

+As a secondary school student, I loved maths. It was my favourite subject and something I wanted to learn more about. When it came time to decide what to put on my CAO, it was an easy choice for me to put Financial Mathematics in UL top of my list.
+The course introduces students to a broad spectrum of areas mathematical topics, such as statistics, probability, analysis, mechanics, financial mathematics, calculus and linear algebra. I’ve also had modules heavily rooted in computer science and accounting. 
+During my third year, I completed an 8 month placement in the Data and Analytics team of Ireland’s largest professional services firm, PwC. There, I got to apply the theory that I had learned in college by working on algorithms to develop synthetic populations. It was great to see how the skills I learned in UL were not only applicable, but highly sought-after by employers like PwC.
+If you're a hardworking individual with a love for maths, this course is tailor-made for you. UL boasts top-class facilities and offers an incredible learning environment. I couldn’t imagine myself studying anywhere else!

+Growing up I always had a soft spot for Mathematics . This grew in secondary school and in particular my interest spiked in Finance. This course just ticked all the boxes for me and I know now that I made the correct choice.
+There is no doubt this course is demanding but if you’re willing to put the work in and you’ll find it is very rewarding. This course introduces you to various areas of Mathematics such as Finance , Statistics , Data Analysis , Computer Software and many more . Doing this course I’ve gained strong problem-solving skills which are extremely handy in any line of work .
+One huge benefit of doing Financial Maths in UL is the 8 month co-op experience in 3rd year. I was fortunate enough to do my co-op with the global financial services firm, Northern Trust in Limerick. Throughout this 8 month experience I was able to use the skills which I learned doing this course in the workplace. I’m very grateful to have gotten this opportunity as it will be massively beneficial for me in the future.
+If you have a taste for Mathematics this course will definitely be right up your alley. UL’s second to none facilities mean you have all the resources you need to enjoy all this course has to offer. One bit of advice I would give would be to prepare yourself for many long days in the library but trust me it is definitely worth it when you get the results you want . Also, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to enjoy the college life too!

+This B.Sc. programme in Food Science and Health prepares graduates for careers in Ireland’s largest industry. About 40,000 people are employed in the food industry which generates an annual gross output of approximately €15.6 billion. The Government has targeted the food sector as being of great strategic importance, capable of generating considerably more wealth and employment. Since there is a direct link between diet and health, consumers are becoming more health conscious and are demanding higher quality foods that maintain health and prevent disease.
+This Food Science and Health degree programme has been developed to meet these needs among consumers, the food industry, academic and research organisations, and government agencies.
+You will find the study of Food Science and Health challenging and rewarding. This degree programme will combine the study of nutrition, human physiology and diet-health relationships with classical food science and technology.
+This broad-based degree programme covers such topics as:
+food science and technology
+food quality
+food ingredients
+food chemistry
+food microbiology
+diet and health
+food processing
+food safety
+project management
+human nutrition
+public health nutrition
+advanced nutrient metabolism
+human physiology
+food biotechnology
+Outside of the food sector, non-food uses of existing and new raw materials are also considered.

+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+

+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2

+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+

+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+I decided to study the BSc in Food Science & Health because I had an interest in Food and Nutrition. I always wanted to work in that area and now know that the degree gave me excellent scientific knowledge to allow me to pursue my career.
+In First Year: you learn the basics of all science subjects. As you proceed through the programme you cover areas in Food Science, for example, Food microbiology, food ingredients,food chemistry, food processing operations and food biotechnology. You also study Health, for example, research trends in diet and health, human nutrition, public health nutrition, advanced nutrient metabolism and exercise and health.
+I undertook my Cooperative Placement in Abbot Nutrition, Co Cavan as a Quality Compliance Intern. The placement exposed me to responsibilities such as Updating Standard Operating Procedures, Preparation for internal and external audits (Compliance Walkdowns, CAPA's (Corrective and Preventative Actions), Following up on risk assessments as well as working with teams, communication and ICT skills.
+My Final Year Project was an Evaluation of the Bioactivity of Selected Dietary Cereals. After graduation, I applied and was successful getting a place on the MSc. Human Nutrition & Dietetics programme in UL. My degree in Food Science & Health provided me with a great base knowledge base in the requirements of Biochemistry & Physiology.
+In 2022, I graduated and am currently working a dietitian with the UL Hospital group.

+A day in the Life of an R&D Technologist
+The role of R&D technologist is very varied and involves project management, recipe formulation and product development right from the concept stage up to industrialisation and product launch. The role also involves dealing with stakeholders and global markets in the development of new products within safety, regulatory and market specific requirements. Innovation and idea generation are key activities as well as keeping on top of industry trends including new launches. It is a challenging job, which requires both creativity and logic. My degree at UL prepared me for my career by providing me with a strong scientific base, skills in independent project work and a fantastic opportunity to build real world experience through the Co-Operative Education work placement scheme.
+Lorraine’s tip:
+Make sure you enjoy and are passionate about the subject area you choose to study. Try to get relevant work experience wherever you can as it will strengthen the knowledge and understanding you are building up in your coursework. Enjoy the great facilities, clubs and societies that UL has to offer - they are second to none and you will make life-long friends.
+Lorraine is currently employed as a Research & Development Technologist with Wyeth Nutrition (Nestlé Research).

+I’ve always had a passion for food, where it comes from and how it’s produced as well as nutrition and all kinds of cooking. The Food Science and Health course here at UL intrigued me with the range of modules that it covered from introductory chemistry and biology to food engineering and biotechnology, nutrition and public health. The opportunity to gain experience working with a company in the food industry and learn what happens in the real world sealed the decision for me and I put the course at the top of my CAO choices.
+This degree offers a broad range of subjects with the first half of the 4-year programme focusing on the core science subjects. This has given me a great scientific background when studying topics like chemistry of foods, food processing, health, nutrition and biotechnology.
+I organized my own Co-Op placement and worked with Goatsbridge Trout Farm in Co. Kilkenny. During my time there I was part of the New Product Development team and assisted in the development and launch of their Heavenly Hot Smoked Trout Pate. As it is a small business, I was involved in so many different aspects of the business and learned the real meaning of multitasking. This Co-Op opportunity gave me so much drive to one day work in such a motivated and hard-working company and possibly even set up my own one day. With the insight I gained through my Co- Op placement, I feel I am better prepared for the ‘real world’ as a food science graduate and have so much more to offer future employers.

+Immersive Software Engineering is a new computer science degree where you learn by doing. You get an integrated Bachelors/Masters qualification (level 9) in four years.  
+You spend half your time learning on campus in a research-driven paradigm, in studios, working on projects, in teams, undergoing continuous assessment instead of end of term exams. 
+You spend the other half of your time in paid residencies, where you solve some of society’s toughest problems in excellent companies.   
+Visit the ISE website for more details.
+Why study Immersive Software Engineering?
+We are offering you a new way to learn computer science through ISE. 
+The goal of Immersive Software Engineering is to turn curious, creative people like you into top notch problem solvers and software engineers, familiar with concepts, methods and tools, and with about 2 years of experience gained in the field in up to 5 companies.  
+Software engineers enjoy incredible careers. They work all over the world, in every sector of economy and society, shaping the solutions to the important problems the world faces, at the local and at the global level. They are well rewarded for it, both economically and in prestige.  
+This could be you.

+A new era of computer science education 
+You will: 
+Get a Master of Science degree in four years, spend over 40 weeks every year learning in a personalized, highly interactive environment, in small groups, with your peers and mentors. 
+You will spend half of your time in paid placements we call residencies in leading companies who shape the future of their sector. The other half you will spend with brilliant researchers and lecturers at UL. 
+You learn software engineering by doing it 
+In your four years at ISE you will complete five paid residencies. Each residency teaches you a suite of concrete skills and gives you the opportunities to practice them. Inside these companies you will be a part of real, professional teams working in their teams, solving real problems as a developer and problem solver. Throughout the degree you will alternate your time between on-campus learning blocks and residencies in partner companies. We think you will learn best on the job, with mentoring from both industry and academia.

+Do you ever wonder:
+
+
+How did the universe begin?
+How does the sun keep shining?
+How can we store so much information on something as small as a microSD card?
+How does your mobile device know when to change the orientation of the screen depending on how you hold it?
+How is the weather so unpredictable more than a few days into the future?
+How can we create technological solutions to address problems like global climate change and the need for renewable energies?
+How can we form images down to the scale of individual atoms?
+
+
+If these questions interest you and you want flexibility in choosing a career then studying Physics at UL is your best choice.
+Why Study Physics in UL?
+Physics is the study of matter and energy and their interaction: so it is the study of everything in the physical world. In order to learn about nature it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in. This language is mathematics. A physicist uses the tools of experiment and mathematics to uncover the relationships found in nature as Physics.
+Physicists get to ask the big questions and their work enables them to form answers. Physics describes the Universe from the very largest size (of the Universe itself) to the very small sizes of atoms and even subatomic particles. By asking and answering these big questions rather than simply observing nature, physicists can use the knowledge gained to control natural phenomena in the form of technology.
+Albert Einstein’s development of General Relativity in the early 20th century was initially used to describe gravity around large celestial bodies such as the Sun, galaxies or even black holes. Einstein’s theory has found modern-day application in the Global Positioning System (GPS) that many of us regularly use to navigate our journeys. Without Einstein’s theory, and the physicists who understood it, GPS would simply not have worked.
+Quantum Mechanics was developed by physicists to describe the smallest of objects; atoms and subatomic particles. Physicists then identified how to control the flow of electrons in matter. This work has led directly to the development of modern digital computers. When you use your computer/mobile device you are using the technologies initially developed by physicists.
+The examples described above involved developing a theory in Physics from conception through to a technological application. Physicists are part of this process at every step from theory to application. This flexibility for physicists in the workplace is one of the strengths of a Physics degree. A Physics degree imparts knowledge of the physical world, along with strong mathematical and problem-solving skills.
+Physicists also have a broad knowledge of subjects that other disciplines would find difficult to match including Quantum Mechanics, Optics, Thermal Physics, Electromagnetism, Semiconductors, Solid State Physics, and Nanotechnology. The detailed knowledge of these areas ensures that good physics graduates will always be in demand by industry.
+Physicists can also undertake research in either industry or academia. Faculty in the Department of Physics are actively involved in research in areas such as:
+
+
+Flow batteries for large scale energy storage,
+Using light to transmit information rather than electrons in wires (Nanoplasmonics),
+Computational modelling of assemblies comprising millions of atoms to determine properties of various materials,
+Using electron microscopy to determine the structure of nanoscale materials and to investigate novel 2-D materials like graphene,
+Microelectromechanical structures and devices for biomedical applications.
+
+
+In your final year of study you will undertake a project working on these or other topics alongside and guided by established researchers in the Department.
+
+
+Physics is a fascinating subject to study that develops strong mathematical and problem-solving skills with a deep understanding of topics that are of particular relevance to new and developing technologies in both research and industry.

+In the first semester, you will study topics in physics including mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism, and methods of measurement. You will also study general chemistry and topics in mathematics including linear algebra and calculus. Before the end of Semester 1, you will choose whether you wish to pursue a degree in
+Applied Physics
+or
+Mathematics and Physics
+The major distinction between these two programmes is that Applied Physics includes physical chemistry and electronics, subjects that the Mathematics and Physics programme omits in favour of developing stronger mathematical skills.

+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Why Study Applied Physics in UL?
+In short, the top reasons for studying applied physics at UL are:
+1. A pragmatic balance between fundamental and applied aspects of physics.
+2. Strong emphasis on problem-solving skills making graduates highly desirable as employees in industry, academia and research.
+3. Strong engagement in research ensuring that graduates are up to date with the latest developments in applied physics.
+4. Outstanding links with local industry for cooperative placement, collaborative research and employment.
+5. A friendly, collaborative, and highly collegial environment that stimulates innovative thinking and promotes the highest standard of accomplishment in tackling challenges.
+The UL link with industry is one of the strongest in Ireland. With both directly funded and state-sponsored active collaborative research, the Department of Physics at UL is working with companies such as Analog Devices, COOK Medical, Intel, and BorgWarner. In addition to advancing science and developing new products, this engagement also creates employment opportunities for the graduates of the BSc in Applied Physics course. UL’s pioneering Cooperative placement programme also ensures that the graduates are engaged with industry from an early stage of their career and can adapt to the high levels of skill and professionalism required in industry.
+Faculty members teaching this course are deeply involved in research and are continually generating scientific breakthroughs and next generation technologies. The Department has an outstanding track record in scientific publications, patents and generation of intellectual property. Examples of scientific advances and technological innovations pioneered in the Department include piezoelectricity in synthetic bone material, infrared nanoscopy, and vanadium redox flow batteries.
+Many of the Department’s faculty members are also members of the Bernal Institute, one of the leading research institutes in Ireland, which houses nationally unique microscopy, spectroscopy and process infrastructure. Students gain access to this infrastructure through undergraduate laboratory courses and fourth year projects.

+                                        Student Universal Support Ireland
+                                        (SUSI). Please refer to https://www.studentfinance.ie to determine your
+                                        eligibility for a grant and for instructions on how to apply. The current student
+                                        contribution is set at €3000.
+                                
+Student Levy
+All students are liable to pay the Student Levy of
+                                €100. Please note the Student Levy is not covered by the SUSI Grant.
+                        
+Tuition Fees
+These are based on
+                                Residency,
+                                Citizenship,
+                                Course requirements.
+
+
+Review the three groups of criteria to determine your fee status as follows
+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have

+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Aaron Coughlan
+My name is Aaron Coughlan and I have been a Business Analyst with Irish Continental Group since October 2022. From 2019 to 2021, I worked for Kerry Group on the Global Analytics team as part of their Data and Analytics Graduate Program.
+In 2021, I returned to UL to pursue a Higher Diploma in Environmental Science, where I finished top of my class and was awarded Student of the Year. From 2015 – 2019, I studied Applied Physics at the University of Limerick.
+During my time at UL, I was fortunate to have many opportunities to grow; academically, emotionally, culturally. This was informed by my time in Clubs and Societies (Drama Society) which challenged me to expand socially and become more confident in myself.
+The University of Limerick shepherded me in cultivating knowledge via the many delightful physics lecturers I was lucky to come in contact with. We were educated not just on the universe and the laws of nature that govern it, but on public speaking and presenting complex ideas with clarity and (quite often) an element of humour: “The Devil, albeit a foot shorter” to name one of the many quotes that stood out to me. It is this concept of translating difficult, complicated subject matter into tangible and engaging ideas, that I use the most in my day-to-day at Irish Continental Group. Analytics requires me to deepen my understanding, of not only facts and the data that underline the insights I am trying to communicate, but in order to present those figures in a way that tells a story.
+There is a Venn Diagram of those who are educators and those who have the ability to teach. They do not always intersect. Thankfully, this was never the case in the Physics Department of UL. Some parting advice to current sixth year; get out there, get stuck into clubs and societies, don’t skip your tutorials and study the past exam papers as early as you can, and don’t be afraid to mess up a little, as long as you learn from your mistakes.

+Shane McCarthy
+Since graduation, I’ve been working for Accenture as an Analytics Consultant. Accenture is a global management consulting company that works with businesses and governments to help maximize their performance and achieve their corporate vision. I spend my time carrying out analysis, building models and advising our clients who are scattered right across the globe, meaning I get to travel regularly. Working for a consulting company ensures lots of variety - to date I’ve worked on projects ranging from examining the prescribing behaviour of doctors, to saving hundreds of millions of tax-payers’ money through operational efficiencies for an EU revenue agency and even detecting fraud in healthcare.
+A degree in Applied Physics will open many doors for you and is the ideal foundation for many careers. This course will give you the quantitative skills, tools and practical training to tackle some of the world’s biggest problems. The UL Experience (outside the classroom) will help you grow as a person and develop those softer skills which are so very important, no matter what career you choose.

+Dr. Jim O'Doherty
+A day in the life of a hospital Medical Physicist can be a hectic one. Hospitals are dynamic places requiring clinical interaction, and as a consequence my job ranges from treating cancer patients to performing scans for a variety of conditions, all while researching and developing new and improved treatment methods for the benefit of our patients. I also advise on the radiation protection aspects of our work, and I am regularly involved in the management of many of our patients’ treatments.
+My primary degree in Applied Physics and the training and knowledge that I received during my time at UL is invaluable to my work. I use this knowledge and training on a day-to-day basis. There are many subjects that I studied at UL which are integral to what I do now, including Modern Physics, Optics, Computer Programming, Sensors, Biomedical Physics as well as a host of other topics covered in depth on the Applied Physics course. The breadth of Applied Physics offers you many career paths, and the one that I chose is hard work but interesting, exciting and very rewarding.
+Jim currently works as a Medical Physicist at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in the UK.

+Have you ever wondered
+Why is the weather so difficult to predict?
+What do stock markets and earthquakes have in common?
+How can matter be a wave on atomic scales?
+How can wave mechanics produce the next generation of computers?
+How do you model the Universe in a computer?
+How does the spreading of a disease explain star formation?
+All of these questions share something in common; they can be answered at the interface of mathematics and physics. Understanding both subjects equally allows a unique view of the world that lets you capture and analyse its true complexity in an elegant way; it allows you to explain it, see effects not yet detected nor realized, and even predict how it will behave. You will need to be comfortable with mathematics, and have an innate curiosity as to how the world works. You should also be interested in applying your skills in mathematics and physics to understanding and solving real world problems.
+Entry route to Mathematics and Physics at UL is via:
+ LM124 Mathematics Common Entry
+or 
+LM125 Physics Common Entry.
+Why Study Mathematics and Physics at UL?
+Traditional mathematical physics degrees in Ireland have been narrow in their scope. This course seeks to provide a genuine mixture of the two subjects. In addition to developing core and advanced mathematical skills, training will be provided in fundamental physics spanning mechanics to quantum mechanics, and in state-of-the-art applications of physics such as nanotechnology.
+The analytical training and broad physical understanding of challenges likely to be encountered in an industrial setting will prove to be a valuable asset for prospective employers.  The applied aspects in particular will ensure that, on graduation, you will be at an advantage in comparison to more traditional Maths Physics graduates, when seeking employment in the smart economy. In such an economy envisaged by the Government, academic and industrial research will be closely coupled.

+This full time programme is of four years duration. The first two years are a combination of the main modules taken in both the mathematical sciences degree and the applied physics degree at UL.
+In these first two years the fundamental aspects of physics and mathematics are established. Physical subjects will include such topics as Mechanics, Waves, Light, Thermal Physics, Electromagnetism, and Modern Physics, which spans the scope of current basic understanding in physics. In addition, more applied topics are Optics and Semiconductors which are essential to modern technology.
+Mathematical subjects include Calculus, Algebra, Vector Analysis, Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Fourier Analysis and Computer Software.
+During the spring semester of the third year, a period of cooperative education (placement in industry) provides you with practical experience in a relevant work environment. This is organised by the University’s Cooperative Education Department in collaboration with representatives from various industries, both in Ireland and abroad. Students are interviewed by company representatives. On selection, they are offered full-time employment during the Cooperative Education period and are paid at a competitive rate.
+The remainder of the modules taken during third and fourth year offer a more in-depth view of both mathematics and physics. The offered modules include: Quantum Mechanics, Solid State Physics, Atomic, Molecular and Laser Physics, Nano-technology, Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations and Mathematics of Natural Phenomena. These more advanced subjects will prepare you for both an industrial career and also for a career in research and development.
+During the final year, a project is undertaken that allows you to analyse a particular problem in depth. This also gives students interested in postgraduate research an opportunity to carry out an exploratory investigation of a potential research topic.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+

+For me, the choice to study Maths and Physics at UL was easy to make. I had always wanted to go to UL, and Maths and Physics had been my favourite subjects in school. The course seemed like a natural fit to my desire to learn about how the universe works, while employing rigorous analytical and numerical techniques.
+I am involved in the design and testing of high-performance, low-noise single-photon-detecting sensors. The activities that this entails vary from day to day. I spend some days solving equations and running simulations to predict device performance or explain phenomena. Other days are spent on the implementation of these findings, by defining process conditions and ordering wafers from the foundry. Some weeks later, I analyse wafer-level test results and define packaging plans for the different devices on the wafers. Finally, some days, when we actually receive the resulting devices, I go into the lab and test them. Of course I don’t do it all on my own – there’s a lot of chatting and discussion involved to make sure we all agree on the best course of action!
+I feel that my course prepared me very well for my career. Studying subjects like Optics, Thermodynamics and Solid State Physics has given me an understanding of the various physical phenomena at play in my models. My Maths subjects have likewise given me a good understanding of the equations and numerical techniques used in my simulations. Sometimes I apply my knowledge of Maths to develop ad hoc algorithms to help me.
+My only advice to school leavers is to pick a course that you really think will suit you, rather than what people around you might think you “should” be doing.

+For me, the choice to study Maths and Physics at UL was an easy one. I loved studying Maths and Physics in secondary school and wanted to continue studying both in university, and the University of Limerick provided a balanced mixture of both. The development of core and advanced mathematical skills complements the array of physics modules I studies, spanning from optics to quantum mechanics, as well as the cutting-edge developments in nanotechnology and laser physics, which is indispensable in industry. 
+During the final year, I had the opportunity to undertake a project that allowed me to analyse a particular problem in fields of maths or physics in-depth. I studies a field of maths called inverse problems, which I continue to do now as a PhD researcher. This project provided me with both an opportunity to carry out an exploratory investigation and a means to begin a career as a postgraduate researcher. In this role, I study maths underlying the techniques of medical imaging and look to enhance current modalities. To do this, I employ various formula and theorems that I have studies throughout my course. This allows us to create better algorithms to improve the quality of the images of the interior of a body, so that we can detect anomalies in the body. 
+Studying here at UL has helped me develop the skills necessary for a wide variety of jobs in industry and academic research; skills I still use today. Studying subjects like electromagnetism, modern physics and solid state physics has given me an understanding of the various physical phenomena at play in my research, while the mathematic modules I have studies, such as partial differential equations and calculus, have given me a good understanding of the equations and numerical techniques used throughout my work. 
+My advice to all applicants is to choose a course that you will enjoy. It'll lead to a far more successful and fulfilling career than choosing a course that is 'supposed' to lead to a good job.

+The programme is four years in duration and is based on the concurrent model of teacher education, in which educational studies and studies in biology, along with your chosen elective (chemistry or physics or agricultural science) are combined with periods of school placement in which you will gain experience of teaching.
+The first two years of study provide a foundation in:
+Chemistry
+Physics
+Biology
+Mathematics
+Education
+You will study education theory and practice which will equip you with teaching aptitudes and skills on which you will build a sound philosophy and approach to teaching.
+During the spring semester of year two, you will undertake the first of your two teaching practice placements for six weeks in a second level school. Your second placement will be in semester 1 of the final year, for 12 weeks. During these placements, you will teach junior or senior science topics to second level pupils, and you will be supervised by UL academic staff.
+After Year 1, you will specialize in the more advanced study of biology, and either chemistry OR physics OR agricultural science. Throughout the four years, there is a strong emphasis on acquiring practical scientific skills through laboratory work, field work and assignments. In your final year, you will select a research topic. This will develop your skills in analysis, problem-solving and scientific writing.
+The science pedagogics modules in your degree have been designed in close collaboration with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (who designed the new specifications) and the Junior Cycle for Teachers (who are tasked with associated professional development for teachers). In addition, the course director was a member of the development group that designed the junior cycle specification. This ensures that graduates are thoroughly prepared for the totality of science education in Irish schools which is well aligned with international best-practice.
+Offered jointly by the Faculty of Education and Health Sciences, and the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which

+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+I chose Science as I felt it would be an enjoyable subject to teach, something you could really do your best with as a teacher and get the pupils really enthusiastic about. The courses here already had the Higher Diploma built into the qualification so as far as I was concerned it was where I wanted to be.
+Coming into the course, I had just leaving cert. biology - no physics or chemistry - but I found with a small effort, it worked out just fine.
+As part of the course requirements, we go on 6 weeks Teaching Practice during the second semester of second year. The majority of people go to a school in their home locality for these 6 weeks. I did my teaching practice in an all-girls school in Tuam, Co.Galway. As much as I missed Limerick, I loved every minute of the teaching. This experience really quenched any uncertainties I had, not to mention the nerves!

+The highlight of the course is definitely the teaching placement in which you are immersed completely in a school environment. During these placements, I developed great confidence in my teaching ability. The experience helps you to discover the kind of teacher you are and learn more about yourself as a person.
+Here at UL, various learner support systems are in place to help those having difficulty with subjects they may not have done for Leaving Cert. Personally, I had never studied Physics at school and found that by dropping into the Science Learning Centre, I was well able to keep up with classmates. College has been THE best time of my life and choosing this course has definitely helped in making it the enjoyable experience it has been.

+Jack Corrigan
+I am a full-time teacher of science, biology and maths. My work-load varies from day-to-day depending on my timetable. In general, I start with some prep work followed by classes. Corrections, administration work, preparing experiments and marking exams are all part of the job. Teaching also involves liaising with parents, other teachers, guidance counsellors and other professionals. In my non-contact hours, I am involved in pastoral care, coaching, Young Scientist and various extracurricular activities with the students. There are also parent-teacher meetings, exam supervision and many other tasks associated with the teaching life. Though sometimes demanding and challenging, teaching can be very rewarding.
+My course at UL prepared me superbly for my career as a teacher - it allowed me to study both Education and Science concurrently so that on graduating, I was fully qualified and ready for the workplace without the need to do a postgraduate course.
+Jack’s tip:
+If you want to be a Science Teacher, put your best foot forward particularly on your teaching practise, because this is the place where you learn your trade, network and make connections that can be hugely beneficial to you in your later career. Enjoy your student years - take all UL has to offer you. It’s an opportunity to explore who you are, to get to know yourself and make new friends.

+The Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) and Masters of Engineering (M.E.) programmes are 4 years and 5 years in duration, respectively. Both include an eight month period of Cooperative Education spent in an appropriate industrial environment. The course provides a broad and practical programme of study, which gives you a good understanding of aircraft design, aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, control, materials, avionics, business and maintenance, and enables you to work in all sectors of the aerospace industry.
+The programme is fully ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) compliant, allowing student mobility across Europe. In addition, students wishing to transfer from Level 6 or Level 7 Engineering programmes can gain access into the second or third year of the programme.
+The first two years provide you with a foundation in the fundamental engineering disciplines, and subjects taught include:
+Air Transportation Management
+Mathematics
+Thermodynamics
+Materials Science
+Introduction to Engineering
+Production Technology
+Aerodynamics
+Aircraft Maintenance
+Engineering Mechanics
+CAD (Computer Aided Design)
+Fluid Mechanics
+Electrical Engineering
+Chemistry
+The eight-month industry placement occurs at the end of year two. The University has links throughout the aviation industry, which has enabled students to be placed in prestigious aerospace companies such as Boeing and Airbus.
+During the third and final years, all students study fundamental aeronautical engineering subjects such as:
+Flight Mechanics
+Aircraft Design
+Aircraft Stability and Control
+Aircraft Propulsion
+Aircraft Structures
+The Flight Mechanics module deserves special mention as the laboratory element of this course is conducted in-flight. A series of flight exercises are carried out over the course of a week, in a twin-engine turboprop aircraft, in which students are provided with individual consoles for monitoring the aircraft's performance.
+In fourth year M.E. students will get the opportunity to apply their knowledge of aircraft design in the Design, Build and Fly project. Run over two semesters, the students are required to Design, Build and Fly a model aircraft that has to satisfy specifications set annually by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). For videos of previous designs check out YouTube (search for “UL DBF”).

+Aviation has always been a passion of mine – my eyes have always been turned skywards! It was a natural progression of my love of aviation, maths and design to choose Aeronautical Engineering. I opted to study in the University of Limerick as it is recognised across the globe as one of the leaders in Aeronautical Engineering, with a strong track record in the industry. After graduation, I chose a Masters in Advanced Aircraft Design Concepts, which I knew would be vital to a career as an aircraft design engineer.
+My current employer is Aero Inspection and I am work on their Design Team. The company specialises in minor modifications and repairs for cabin interiors, and placards for both the interior and exterior of aircraft. I prepare drawings for certification purposes, carry out detailed analysis of aircraft structures, prepare weight & balance reports, and prepare aircraft manual updates. I then visit the aircraft to support the implementation of the modifications.
+UL’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering includes modules like flight mechanics, aircraft conceptual design, structures, and stability & control. These modules have prepared me for the detailed design work that I do every day. The Design-Build-Fly module was very important for my development as a design engineer. This project involved all stages of the aircraft design process; from the initial concept sketches, to detailed design and mechanical analysis, production, and the final test flights. It was a very challenging module, but it was the perfect opportunity to put theory into practice.
+Another aspect of the course that sets it apart from the rest, is the eight-month compulsory internship. I was placed in Rolls-Royce, in Derby. The experience I gained here really helped my CV to stand out from the others.

+UL has a long-standing association with the aerospace industry, an industry that I was eager to become a part of. During my research of courses, I saw that UL had a very high percentage of graduate engineers entering the aerospace industry, largely due to the Co-Op work experience with leading aerospace companies. I also saw how UL has many facilities on campus that are relevant to Aeronautical Engineering, such as wind tunnels and flight simulators, so I knew that this was a practical “hands-on” course that did not exclusively involve classroom learning.
+Throughout the course, we get to apply “real-world” engineering experiences to projects like stress analysis of aircraft structures using Finite Element Analysis and the designing, building and flying of a radio-controlled (RC) aircraft in my final year.
+One of my favourite modules is Flight Mechanics where we get to experience a flight test in a twin-engine turbo-prop aircraft out at Shannon airport, where the pilot performs various manoeuvres to highlight the flight characteristics of the aircraft. This allows us to apply classroom theory to real-life aircraft testing methods.
+I undertook my Co-Op with Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company, in Seattle, Washington where I worked on the engineering team of the 777X aircraft. One of my main roles was testing the functionality of the Autopilot which involved many fun hours in a flight simulator. I acquired many skills during my time at Boeing, such as writing Matlab scripts and using CAD packages such as Catia, all of which will assist me in my future career. This was an unforgettable experience in Seattle in which I was exposed to the many opportunities that are available in the aviation industry, not just in Ireland, but around the world.

+UL is the only institute in the State which offers a fully accredited degree in Aeronautical Engineering. UL has some of the best facilities in the country for studying Aeronautical Engineering including wind tunnels, composite material processing facilities, a flight simulator, etc.
+The course is challenging and thought-provoking. It will enable you to develop a naturally analytical approach to thinking, and will give you the mathematical tools to break down physical processes into some form of rational control. It has provided me with the opportunity to be considered highly employable in both the business and engineering industries.
+In the 3rd year of my UL degree, I went on Erasmus to Georgia Institute of Technology in the US. The modules I studied included Jet and Rocket Propulsion and Aerospace Vehicle Performance. This differed from UL in that I gained an insight into the military, space and rotorcraft (Helicopter) sectors of the engineering industry. The experience really cemented my enthusiasm and my skills as a prospecting Engineer and challenged me to new levels.
+I undertook my Co-Op with AWAS Aviation Leasing, a Dublin- based aircraft leasing company which provides more than 300 commercial aircraft to over 100 of the largest airlines in the world. Thanks to the UL Co-Op program, the experiences I gained during my time at AWAS have provided me with an excellent beginning to my professional career by allowing me to engage with some of the biggest names in the aviation industry from around the world.

+
+The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Masters of Engineering (ME) in Digital Mechatronic Engineering are an integrated suite of programmes of 4 and/or 5 years in duration, respectively. They follow a 4+1 model, where you can opt to take a BE after 4 years of study, or carry on for an additional year for an ME degree. This integrated programme is divided into three parts.
+Part I is the entry point through our common entry engineering, LM116;
+Part II comprises years 2-4 with a BE degree exit at the end of Year 4.
+For students wishing to avail of a ME degree there is an optional Part III Masters programme completed at the end of the optional 5th year.
+All options offer a novel (Up-to) 13-month Co-operative Education Period in a relevant industry setting, thus providing you with a truly immersive work and education experience, and this element of the programme starts in the summer after Year 2. 
+PART I 
+Part I comprises the first year of study and is common to both the BE and ME programmes. It provides you with a foundation in the fundamental engineering subjects and makes up for variations in the background of individual students. The subjects taken include: Introduction to Digital Mechatronics; Engineering Mathematics; Engineering Computing; Engineering Mechanics; Chemistry for Engineers; Electrical Engineering; Fluid Mechanics and the Engineering Profession. 
+PART II is the BE Digital Mechatronics Engineering 
+Part II of the BE comprises years 2 - 4 and you will generally study five modules per semester including Digital Mechatronics; Data Engineering; Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning; General Engineering; Engineering Mathematics; Engineering Mechanics; Automation and Control; Machine Building; Wireless Communications & Networking; Engineering Computing; Sensors & Actuators; Product Design & Modelling, and others. Year 3 offers an up-to 13-month immersive Co-operative Education Period in a relevant industry setting. In Year 4, you will complete a major project in the design, development and/or implementation of a digital mechatronics system/machine, and will specialise in either Digital Robotic Engineering or Digital Manufacturing Engineering. 
+PART III is the ME Digital Mechatronics Engineering 
+Part III is the optional ME in Digital Mechatronics Engineering, and comprises one additional Year (Year 5) of study over the BE option described in Part II above, and continues the specialisation in either Digital Robotic Engineering or Digital Manufacturing Engineering. Years 2 and 3 are common to both the BE and ME. However, at the end of Year 3 students are asked to decide whether they wish to take the BE or the ME route (subject to a minimum academic standing). If the ME route is chosen then you will take modules in the 4th year to include Cybersecurity & Cryptography and an ME Project Preparation module. Upon entering the 5th ME year you will take exciting modules in Real-Time Systems; Life Cycle Engineering; Spatial Robotics; Robotic Planning, Mapping & Manipulation; Automation and Control; Automated System Design and Integration;  Robotic Sensing & Perception; Deep Learning at the Edge and Digital Control. You will also undertake a major research project in the Digital Mechatronics Engineering field, which accounts for a significant proportion of grades in this 5th Year.

+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course

+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)

+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+
+The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Masters of Engineering (ME) in Digital Mechatronic Engineering are an integrated suite of programmes of 4 and/or 5 years in duration, respectively. They follow a 4+1 model, where you can opt to take a BE after 4 years of study, or carry on for an additional year for an ME degree. This integrated programme is divided into three parts.
+Part I is the entry point through our common entry engineering, LM116;
+Part II comprises years 2-4 with a BE degree exit at the end of Year 4.
+For students wishing to avail of a ME degree there is an optional Part III Masters programme completed at the end of the optional 5th year.
+All options offer a novel (Up-to) 13-month Co-operative Education Period in a relevant industry setting, thus providing you with a truly immersive work and education experience, and this element of the programme starts in the summer after Year 2. 
+PART I 
+Part I comprises the first year of study and is common to both the BE and ME programmes. It provides you with a foundation in the fundamental engineering subjects and makes up for variations in the background of individual students. The subjects taken include: Introduction to Digital Mechatronics; Engineering Mathematics; Engineering Computing; Engineering Mechanics; Chemistry for Engineers; Electrical Engineering; Fluid Mechanics and the Engineering Profession. 
+PART II is the BE Digital Mechatronics Engineering 
+Part II of the BE comprises years 2 - 4 and you will generally study five modules per semester including Digital Mechatronics; Data Engineering; Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning; General Engineering; Engineering Mathematics; Engineering Mechanics; Automation and Control; Machine Building; Wireless Communications & Networking; Engineering Computing; Sensors & Actuators; Product Design & Modelling, and others. Year 3 offers an up-to 13-month immersive Co-operative Education Period in a relevant industry setting. In Year 4, you will complete a major project in the design, development and/or implementation of a digital mechatronics system/machine, and will specialise in either Digital Robotic Engineering or Digital Manufacturing Engineering. 
+PART III is the ME Digital Mechatronics Engineering 
+Part III is the optional ME in Digital Mechatronics Engineering, and comprises one additional Year (Year 5) of study over the BE option described in Part II above, and continues the specialisation in either Digital Robotic Engineering or Digital Manufacturing Engineering. Years 2 and 3 are common to both the BE and ME. However, at the end of Year 3 students are asked to decide whether they wish to take the BE or the ME route (subject to a minimum academic standing). If the ME route is chosen then you will take modules in the 4th year to include Cybersecurity & Cryptography and an ME Project Preparation module. Upon entering the 5th ME year you will take exciting modules in Real-Time Systems; Life Cycle Engineering; Spatial Robotics; Robotic Planning, Mapping & Manipulation; Automation and Control; Automated System Design and Integration;  Robotic Sensing & Perception; Deep Learning at the Edge and Digital Control. You will also undertake a major research project in the Digital Mechatronics Engineering field, which accounts for a significant proportion of grades in this 5th Year.

+                        
+Tuition Fees
+These are based on
+                                Residency,
+                                Citizenship,
+                                Course requirements.
+
+
+Review the three groups of criteria to determine your fee status as follows
+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+The Certificate in Science (Equine Science) and Diploma in Science (Equine Science) programmes often suit people who;
+Enjoy learning about, investigating and understanding the science associated with horses.
+Want to start out on a programme of study where the commitment is initially for only two years.
+May not have the entry requirements necessary for the Bachelor of Science in Equine Science programme.
+Why Study Certificate or Diploma in Equine Science at UL?
+The Certificate and Diploma courses are suitable if you want to achieve academic qualifications before starting work in an area of horse-based or related industries. The courses are designed in response to the economic and cultural importance of the horse based industries in Ireland and abroad and their need for high quality staff. You can graduate after two years with a Certificate level qualification or, you can progress to a Diploma or Degree level qualification. Progression to the Diploma in Science (Equine Science) programme is subject to achieving at least Second Class Honours Grade 2 in the Certificate programme.
+The programmes offer a broad base of learning in equine science, equitation and equine related business topics. This three stranded approach provides a strong platform for building a flexible career. In most semesters you will have a choice of module that allows you to align your studies with your personal interests and ambitions. Students who progress to the Diploma in Science (Equine Science) can choose to follow either a business or equitation specialist route.

+You will take 5 modules per semester. A strong emphasis is placed on relevance to industry. During your time at the University of Limerick, you will be shown a wide range of industry practices and attend lectures presented by expert industry representatives. Many modules include field-based activity or visits to centres of excellence. In each semester you will take a balance of modules planned to develop both understanding of scientific principles and “hands-on” applied work with horses.
+In addition, you will complete an extended period of cooperative education. Many students rate this part of their studies very highly as an opportunity to take their college learning to an industry context. Cooperative education is considered to be a very beneficial life-learning experience and an opportunity to network and make contacts in the industry either in Ireland or abroad.

+Module Electives - what are they?
+Electives give you the opportunity to choose modules that you want to study.
+Each Semester you will be given a choice of a number of modules and you will be asked to select a certain amount to study. This can range from 1 module to 4 modules, based on the course.
+For example, you may be given a list of 4 modules, and will be asked to choose 2 to study for the upcoming semester.
+Electives in the Certificate in Equine Science
+In the first year of study, students are required to complete a module offered by the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems from the choice of modules below. Choose one of the below:
+CS4911 – Introduction to IT
+This module is designed to give 1st and 2nd year students from disciplines other than Computing a historical and theoretical introduction to information technology: concepts, terminology and possible future developments; together with practice in standard productivity software.
+CS4913 – Business Information Systems
+Almost all business organisations use computerised information systems to some degree.  Many business organisations would not be able to function without such systems.  At the same time there are continuous occurrences of problems in the design, implementation and use of these systems. This module introduces students on a range of business studies courses to the fundamental features of business information systems (BIS).  The main purpose is to enable graduates of such course appreciate the need for BIS, how BIS can aid the decision making processes of an organisation and how the design of such systems is fundamental to their eventual success or failure. We would only recommend this elective if you hold an ECDL.

+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which

+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.

+The Equine Science Certificate course appealed to me as it offered a variety of subjects across different fields within the Horse Industry, from science to business management. I had worked as an apprentice jockey for a prestigious trainer in the Curragh and travelled to Italy where I managed a small racing yard. On my return to Ireland I applied for the programme at UL.
+I enjoyed my time in the University of Limerick immensely. Course leaders and lecturers provided great support and encouragement. I undertook my Cooperative Education placement at Del Mar Racetrack, California and I also spent a season working with mares and foals at Castlehyde Stud. There I got the opportunity to experience the breeding aspect of the industry which we had covered in the practical side of our scientific modules.
+On completion of the Certificate and Diploma courses, I was given the opportunity to travel to Coolmore Stud Australia to work with their team. I am currently responsible for the management of the registration department in Castlehyde Stud. I am proud to be working as part of a team with one of Ireland’s leading organisations within the breeding industry. The Certificate programme at the University of Limerick provided me with the stepping stones to further my knowledge and experience in this industry in preparation for a rewarding career.

+Interaction Design could be for you if you want to combine both your creative and technical sides. It will provide you with the skills to think critically about technology and to understand how design impacts people.
+Why Study Interaction Design at UL?
+The future of design is digital. Whether it’s a watch that tracks every step you take or sensors embedded in our clothing: every part of our lives is shaped by technology. The degree in Interaction Design provides you with the skills and knowledge to think creatively about how we interact with the technologies that surround us and to develop designs that are people-centred in innovative ways.
+The field of Interaction and User Experience Design is constantly evolving. The degree in Interaction Design will provide you with the skills to design engaging interactive experiences for users building on new technologies. You will work with real-world design cases and gain insight into the industry from our design partners, as well as cultural and civic organisations.
+Working as an Interaction Designer means continuously evolving with the needs of users and developments in emerging technologies - this requires critical and creative thinking.
+We help you develop essential skills to identify and respond to people’s needs, using a number of people-centred design methods. We help our students to understand what people want and how to design suitable interfaces and interactions working with technologies. We encourage creativity and reflective design by teaching research skills and supporting students in active research projects. We develop designers who can explore existing and emerging technologies in a meaningful way. Our students have access to cutting-edge hardware, software and the support of expert lecturers and technicians, for multiple purposes, including:
+- Prototyping apps on mobile platforms (e.g. Android)
+- Producing screen-based content with creative software (e.g. Adobe, Processing, Figma, Sketch, Final Cut Pro)
+- Building interactive objects with physical computing (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
+- Exploring interactive programming (e.g. Processing, HTML, CSS, Javascript).

+
+Colin Doherty
+Digital Media Design focuses on new media industry perspectives, teaching students how to use industry-standard applications, but also teaching creativity and understanding. The main focus is on interaction design, but people who also love videography, photography and graphic design find themselves a welcome home in DMD!
+One of my favourite subjects on the course is Digital Video Fundamentals which has become a great passion of mine. The skills I learned in this area proved to be very useful when I was on CoOp and I was given the opportunity to film and edit videos, which went on to win international awards.
+I went on CoOp to the SAP Apphaus in Dublin as a User Experience Intern. The Apphaus is a new generation office, which is built around team work in a highly collaborative, flexible and creative environment. This placement benefited me greatly as I was given a project for myself in which I came up with my own problems and solutions. The team I worked with were always willing to answer my questions, and under their guidance, I learned a great deal. The experience helped me build a solid foundation for my future career by improving my customer interview skills, which is exactly what an interaction designer needs to do!

+This programme might suit you if;
+you are interested in the digital audio, video art and industry
+you enjoy learning about the latest advances that inform the digital arts domain
+you would like to combine highly technological skills with artistic and creative endeavour

+Why Study Music, Media and Performance Technology at UL?
+The BSc in Music, Media and Performance Technology is a programme that enables students to enter into the contemporary world of digital media, film, sound and interactive technology and performance. Students develop a wide range of skills and are given many opportunities to become proficient in areas of special interest. The programme provides a strong contextual understanding of culture and media and enables technical proficiency in the technologies of culture-making, including coding, cinematography and sound engineering. 
+The aim of the programme is to equip you with degree-level competence in music, media and performance technologies. On graduation, you will be capable of making a significant contribution to the continuing development and growth of the Digital Arts, the Music Technology and Media industries and more broadly across other sectors that use digital media technologies.
+Facilities include professional-grade digital recording studios, with a composition suite and post-production facility based around industry standard hard-disk recording systems (Pro Tools and Logic Pro) and includes dedicated facilities for surround sound mixing and mastering. In addition to professional-grade video recorders and editing equipment, a new dedicated digital media laboratory provides state of the art software and hardware for both audio and video applications.
+This programme will;
+(i) Give you expertise in music and video digital media technologies
+(ii) Teach you the skills required for the creative use of music and video digital media
+(iii) Help you to acquire the expertise needed for you to take an active role in the diverse field of digital media
+(iv) Support you in your development of a critical and independent approach to problem solving that will help you to reach your full potential throughout your career
+(v) Enhance your capacity to learn independently, by your own resources
+The course is one of a pair of sister courses - the other being the BSc in Digital Media Design. These two courses offer different yet related perspectives and training in digital media, while sharing modules and approaches. The BSc in Music, Media & Performance Technology is focussed on the technical principles and theory of digital media and their creative use in video, music and performance.

+I was interested in technology, design and radio so this course seemed a perfect mix of all three, with a few other areas mixed in. With subjects like Performance Technology, Digital Arts and Creative Coding, we can show off our creative abilities. We use coding to create an audio/visual piece for display or performance No two projects are ever the same – you can tailor them to lean more towards the area you are interested in. The more the course goes on, the more you find out what area really suits you, whether it be composing, coding or designing. The course is very broad and covers such a vast amount of music, art, technology and so much more. The University itself provides great learning facilities, particularly all the software and hardware we need for any projects.  For me, the best thing about the course is building up such a vast skill set in so many different areas, which means I have a long list of job prospects after graduation.
+For my Co-Op I went to Limerick’s Live 95FM, a local radio station based in Limerick City. My role was Research Assistant for a current affair talk show that airs daily. My daily jobs included booking guests for the next show, researching stories to discuss on air, meeting guests in studio before interview, writing interview scripts and podcasting interviews.
+Working in production showed me how much work goes into preparing a radio show and I was grateful to play a part in putting it all together. I learnt so much in my time there and was so confident in my role towards the end. While Research Assistant was my role, I was given opportunities to grow many other skills while I was there.  I’m still in contact with the station and several opportunities have since risen to work there again.

+My job involves creating online video content for young people on a range of topics including mental health, sexual health, work and online safety. Day to day I work on concept development, scripting, storyboarding, recording voiceovers, animating visuals, recording pieces to camera, audio overlays and creating a final output. I also have on-going tasks like getting scripts proofed by young people and health professionals and creating a visual style for the websites video content. I absolutely love my job and there has never been a day where I haven???t wanted to come to work.
+Throughout my four years in UL, I learned how to produce high quality multimedia from concept all the way through to delivering a final product. I also learned the theory behind what makes great content, audio and video principles and contemporary design. Copyright laws, computing ethics, programming fundamentals and project management were also covered. These topics all feed into my every day work.
+Jack???s tip: My UL degree gave me the keys to countless doors and fascinating areas, some that I never even knew existed. To get to a place where you are employed within the creative industry, you need to continuously learn and work hard to get there. It???s up to you to go further through the doors and excel in some of these areas. There are so many people that want jobs in the creative industry, so put yourself above the rest by using your passion and talent to build on the skills and confident expertise that UL absolutely provides.
+Jack is currently employed as a Media Producer with SpunOut.ie

+What I love about this course is the fact that there are many different aspects, and as a student you can focus in on whatever excites you the most. With modules covering several areas of Music Technology, Video and Digital Arts, there is something for everyone. When it comes to project work, lecturers are very open to the material we students chose to work on, as long as it meets the criteria laid out.
+Choosing this course at UL has presented me with a great opportunity to grasp the workings of the modern entertainment industry. The facilities here are fantastic so you'll be well equipped with anything and everything you'll need, from audio and video editing suites, studios, camera equipment and computer labs loaded with all the software you'll need to create your own art!

+What is Biomedical Engineering?
+Biomedical engineering uses problem-solving techniques and engineering mechanics to solve biology and medicine-based problems. Modern medicine has given rise to a wide range of novel engineering solutions to these clinical problems – and a Biomedical Engineering degree is your way to help address current clinical problems and diseases. Biomedical Engineering is a relatively new area of Engineering, but it is the fastest growing area due to increased demand for biology-based engineers from the MedTech Sector.

+The Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) and Masters of Engineering (M.E.) programme in Biomedical Engineering are 4 years and 5 years in duration, respectively. 
+Both include an eight-month period of Cooperative Education spent in an appropriate industrial environment. The course provides a broad and practical programme of study, which gives you a good understanding of anatomy, physiological fluid mechanics, medical devices, medical imaging, tissue mechanics, cell mechanobiology, biomicrofluidics, and computational modelling. 
+The first two years provide you with a foundation in the fundamental engineering disciplines, and subjects taught include: 
+
+
+Introductory Anatomy and Physiology,  
+Cell & Tissue Behaviour for Engineers,  
+Physiological Fluid Mechanics 1 
+Chemistry 
+Engineering Mechanics  
+Computing for Engineering 
+Mathematics for Engineering 
+Materials 
+
+
+At the end of Year 2 you are placed in a company in the biomedical engineering industry both in Ireland and internationally for an 8-month Co-operative Education Period. Typical companies include Boston Scientific (Ireland & USA), Abbott (Ireland & USA) and Medtronic (Ireland and USA). This will take place directly after your Year 2 exams (Summer semester) and continue to start of your second semester of Year 3 (i.e. June to following January). 
+During your final two years you will undertake modules that again specific to biomedical engineering field. These modules will now focus on novel and cutting-edge topics in biomedical engineering. You experience more challenging and group based projects in interesting topics within the Biomedical Engineering field. Modules include: 
+
+
+Biocompatibility 
+Tissue Engineering 
+Orthopaedic Biomechanics 
+Biomaterials 
+In Vitro Models for Bio Engineers 
+
+
+The ME Programme have modules designed around the Research and Development of medical devices as well as commercialising such devices. The ME students will get the opportunity to apply their knowledge of medical devices, anatomy, materials and mechanics in the ‘Medical Device Design’ project. This is run over two semesters where students design a medical device and build a business plan around it. In conjunction with the ‘Entrepreneurship and Innovation’ module you will follow a path to realise such a medical device and how to get it to market.

+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course

+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)

+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+

+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Student Profile
+
+
+
+
+Clíona McCarthy
+I graduated from the University of Limerick with a First Class Honours in Biomedical Engineering (BE) in 2019. I chose to study at UL for a number of reasons, the main one being the Cooperative Education placement. The placement allowed me to apply my knowledge from the classroom to real world industry projects. Before graduating I had almost a years’ worth of industrial experience, which was a great talking point for job interviews in final year.   
+The BE course consisted of both classroom learning and lab work e.g. designing and making a motorised car model. My final year project looked at using porcine tissue in tissue engineering as an alternative to organ donors. I was awarded the Stryker Final Year Project award for this work in 2019 from the School of Engineering in UL. 
+In my final year, I began to apply for graduate engineering roles. The UL careers fair helped me decide what areas in industry I would like to work in and, upon graduating, I had secured a job as a manufacturing engineer for a medical device company in Galway. I spent a year in industry before returning to UL to begin my PhD, which focuses on the biomechanics of biological tissue.

+This course will be particularly attractive to you if you are interested in the application of scientific and technical knowledge to the solution of real world problems.
+Why Study Civil Engineering at UL?
+The Civil Engineering programme at UL is fully accredited by Engineers Ireland and uses a student-centered approach to teaching, using techniques such as problem based learning and active learning. In year one (common entry programme), you will develop your ability to work as part of a team, to plan and present, to undertake research and to apply your knowledge.
+Entry route to Civil Engineering at UL is via LM116 Engineering Common Entry.
+Civil engineering is a broad field of engineering dealing with the design, planning, construction and maintenance of fixed structures or public works as they are related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with structures, roads, bridges, railways, water supply, transportation and traffic, waste water, protection of the environment, flood control and power plants.

+Civil Engineering at UL now offers an integrated Bachelor/Master of Engineering programme. The entry route to both is through LM116 but in year 3 students have the choice to decide between the Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) or Masters of Engineering (M.E.) programmes.  The B.E. programme is 4 years in duration, while the M.E. programme adds an additional year making it a total of 5 years in duration.  Both programmes include an eight-month period of Cooperative Education spent in an appropriate industrial environment.
+Civil engineering at UL is built around a ‘learning-by-doing’ process and focuses on three areas:
+- Water and the Environment
+- Energy in Civil Engineering
+- Buildings and Infrastructure
+When you join the civil engineering team at UL, you learn to be an engineer from day one. Working in small teams, you will solve interesting problems. The challenges presented are open-ended and increase in complexity as you progress through the years. Your ingenuity and creativity are required to explore many viable solutions. Drawing from what you have learned and with the shared knowledge of your team, you will design, analyse and (in many cases) test your creations. Lectures are provided along the way to fill in gaps in your knowledge.
+The programme is fully ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) compliant, allowing student mobility across Europe.  In addition, close ties with a number of universities in the United States provide students with exciting opportunities to spend a semester studying abroad.
+
+
+
+
+Year 1
+In year one you will be part of the LM116 Bachelor of Engineering Common Entry programme where you will develop broad engineering skills while receiving insights into the different engineering disciplines. In the spring semester students interested in Civil Engineering will undertake a ‘learning by doing’ project where you will be challenged to design and build civil engineering structure which has to do a specific task. Starting with a blank whiteboard you will work in teams to develop your ideas which you will then build and test at the end of the semester.

+In year three you will get a real experience of being an engineer when you take the draft plans of a building and undertake the role of Civil Engineer in this ‘Integrated Design Project’.  This project requires the integration of many aspects of civil engineering disciplines including interaction with the design architect, land surveying, structural analysis, structural design, foundation design, health safety issues and forms the core of the first semester in year three.  The project is followed by an eight-month Co-op placement with an engineering contractor/ consultant in Ireland or abroad.

+
+
+Year 4/5
+In year four you will learn about energy-efficient buildings, wind energy and how to design water treatment systems. A unique feature of the programme is learning from the engineering mistakes of the past; in doing so, you will investigate actual engineering failures in collaboration with law students. As a student engineer, you will act as an expert witness in a moot court (simulation) and have your expert opinions tested through examination and cross-examination by the student lawyers.
+Your final year project allows you to specialise in the area of civil engineering that intrigues you most. Clear and effective communication is an essential skill for the civil engineer and is carefully fostered in every project throughout the programme. You will develop verbal, written and poster presentation skills in addition to creating video documentaries, participating in a moot court and ethical debates, and you will also act as a technical guide to creative arts students on special projects.

+Student course fees are comprised of the following components:
+Student Contribution
+
+
+                                        Annual charge set by the government for all full-time third level students.
+                                        All students are liable unless they have been approved for a grant by
+                                        Student Universal Support Ireland
+                                        (SUSI). Please refer to https://www.studentfinance.ie to determine your
+                                        eligibility for a grant and for instructions on how to apply. The current student
+                                        contribution is set at €3000.
+                                
+Student Levy
+All students are liable to pay the Student Levy of
+                                €100. Please note the Student Levy is not covered by the SUSI Grant.
+                        
+Tuition Fees
+These are based on
+                                Residency,
+                                Citizenship,
+                                Course requirements.
+
+
+Review the three groups of criteria to determine your fee status as follows
+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+Robert O'Callaghan
+After completing my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering at UL, I undertook a Masters in Structural Engineering at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. Along with lectures, I have been working in a team of 20 students on the structural design of a 250m tall building in Seoul, South Korea. This project was designed to be completed in the same manner as one would progress any such project in a design engineer’s office.
+For the first semester I was chosen as overall team leader, and have no doubt that the skills and confidence I learned through UL's Problem Based Learning approach aided me greatly. Trying to coordinate and organise our team of 20 students with diverse backgrounds was one of our greatest challenges. My course in UL gave me great experience of working within a team in a professional and self-organised manner. Such skills proved invaluable to me during this project, meaning that I was confident to seek out and utilise new information on my own. I feel that my innovative education in Civil Engineering at U.L. prepared me for my graduate education like no other.

+As a child I was fascinated by buildings and bridges and I loved Engineering, Maths and Physics in school so Civil Engineering seemed like a perfect choice for me.
+For anyone studying Engineering UL is a great place to be and the campus is home to some amazing works of engineering, including the award winning “Living Bridge” – the longest pedestrian bridge in Ireland.
+The course itself is fantastic; like anything worth doing its hard work sometimes, but we’re constantly starting new and different projects. For instance we recently completed a design and build of a 6m tall timber siege tower.  We used the siege platforms to re-inact The Siege of Limerick at King John’s castle. What better way of learning about timber design can there be?

+Are you interested in clever designs that benefit people’s lives, in how they are produced in the real world meeting high technical standards, and how they are made affordable, accessible and sustainable? Are you interested in interacting with other people to achieve a common goal, and listening to people in a constructive manner? Are you interested in applying problem-solving techniques and practices to big real-world problems? Are you a hands-on person? If so, this course should suit you well.
+What is (Programme) ( BE Design & Manufacture)? 
+Design and Manufacture Engineering covers a range of topics which are directly relevant to solving big real-world problems. As we know, manufacturing is the backbone of modern society and creates the wealth of a nation. 
+The vision for graduates from the BE in Design and Manufacture programme, is for them to design useful working products, seeing them developed from possibility and concept, through the practicalities of manufacture, to real use, and eventual recycling after their life’s end. In common with all UL programmes, the Engineers Ireland accredited BE in Design and Manufacture includes a cooperative education placement and adheres to traditional educational guidelines of preparation for the profession of engineering. 
+In choosing to study this programme, you will build upon your skills and aptitude for design and analytical work. You will cover a range of subjects including fundamentals of design and production processes, computer-aided design, automation, materials, quality, capacity planning and simulation, costs and sustainability. The programme follows CDIO principles (Conceive-Design-implement- Operate) including active learning and problem-based learning these are important elements of the programme in each year.

+Throughout this course, you will be provided with a strong foundation in both engineering and design principles, with a clear focus on project-based learning. You will also be provided with an in-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes and how products are made. You will be encouraged to develop design solutions to real-life problems. 
+This four-year programme consists of eight semesters and is divided into two parts. Part I, comprising the first year of study, will provide a foundation in the fundamental engineering subjects and makes up for variations in the background of individual students. The modules during the first year are common to Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. 
+Part II comprises the remaining three years. The final degree award is based on your performance during these three years. Generally, you will study five modules per semester, with each semester worth 30 credits. Each semester contains a mix of design and manufacturing related subjects including areas such as the fundamentals of design, automation, supply chain design and advanced manufacturing processes. You will also achieve a high level of capability with SolidWorks and will use Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) approach with an emphasis on Engineering Design and project based learning. 
+At the end of Year 2, you will undertake a work placement in industry for an eight-month Cooperative Education period. This period provides experience of the practice and application of engineering methods in an industrial environment. You will then return to the University for the spring semester of third year. 
+An important feature of this programme is the final year project (FYP). The individual project topic will be allocated to you near the end of third year, following an extensive consultation process. You will have almost 12 months to undertake this major piece of work and prepare a report of the work for assessment. The project is an opportunity for you to express your creative and analytical skills in an imaginative and professional way and many students are proud to show their work at subsequent job interviews. 
+By the end of this course, you will be in a position to manage the lifecycle of new products from design, through production and on to end-of-life recycling. 
+Topics covered include:
+• Production Technology 
+• Automation 
+• Mechanics of solids 
+• Engineering Design (Advanced SolidWorks) 
+• Finite Element Analysis 
+• Metrology and Statistical Process Control 
+• Simulation Modelling and Analysis 
+• Engineering Economics, Ethics and Sustainability

+I chose Design and Manufacture Engineering as my elective for the Common Entry Engineering degree because it encompasses a good mix of the technical drawing and problem-solving skills I liked in school. Design and Manufacture Engineering is a great course for gaining practical knowledge about current practices and equipment used in the manufacturing industry today. Throughout the four years, I gained experience in many relevant areas for industry like how to effectively use CAD software SolidWorks, how to work with electrical and pneumatic systems and how modern manufacturing methods like 3D printing work. The combination of expert lecturers, enthusiastic classmates and interesting, industry relevant modules made the course feel relevant to life after university, but above all very enjoyable to me. 
+For my 8-month Co-op Placement in 3rd year, I was based in Modular Automation in Shannon, Co. Clare. Modular are a solutions partner to industry leading Med-Tech companies around the globe. While I was in Modular, I was given the opportunity to work on many projects by designing custom equipment from scratch, detailing drawings and then ordering these parts from vendors. While on Coop, I was able to use the skills I gained on my course to contribute to innovative design in industry. One benefit of the Co-op program in UL is that you gain 8 months industry experience while in university, which always helps with job opportunities after college. It also helps that the manufacturing industry in Ireland is booming now! My successful UL Coop period at Modular has led me right back to them now where I work as a Mechanical Design Engineer, all thanks to the skills I gained in my Design and Manufacture Degree.

+When I was 17 I did not realise I wanted to become an engineer because I did not fully understand what engineers learnt in college or did in work. Due to this I had not chosen many Leaving Certificate subjects that were applicable to engineering but I did love Technical Graphics. I specifically chose Design and Manufacture Engineering because I wanted to learn how products are innovated, the design considerations and the practicalities of sustainable manufacturing. The modules in Design and Manufacture foster engaging group and individual project work, finishing with the FYP.
+I chose the University of Limerick for the fantastic resources that they offer to students such as the maths learning centre, clubs and societies as well as the Co-op placement. I did my Co-op placement with Abbott Diagnostics. While I was on placement, I gained project management skills in a professional setting and applied the theoretical knowledge I learned from my degree like Solidworks, Lean Manufacturing and Operations Management. My Co-op with Abbott gave me a foundation in understanding manufacturing businesses as a whole. This foundation set me up well for Abbott's global rotational program where I have since worked in various roles from project engineer, operations supervisor and procurement specialist across Ireland, the United States and the Netherlands.

+You like mathematics and are good at it. You are interested in a career that involves Mathematics, but may also be interested in Physics or Economics.
+Why study Mathematics at UL?
+In UL the focus is on applied Mathematical sciences, where  Mathematics and Statistics are used to solve problems that arise in science, engineering, industry, finance or society. Applied mathematical and statistical modelling is a philosophy of asking, and trying to understand, how things work. A problem or phenomenon of some sort occurs and Mathematics and Statistics are used to explain, to understand and ideally to improve it.

+LM124 Mathematics Common Entry is designed to provide you with a gateway to better choice if you’re unsure which area you’d like to study. You can avail of a broad common first year which will introduce you to various topics in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics and Economics. Having gained a better understanding of each subject area, you then choose your preferred pathway to specialise for the remaining 3 years of your degree programme. At UL, you get to try before you decide.
+In the first semester, you will study calculus, linear algebra and computer programming and can choose from a selection of other modules, including physics and economics, before deciding whether to pursue a degree in
+- Mathematical Sciences
+- Mathematics and Physics; or
+- Economics and Mathematical Sciences.
+A Special Mathematics (Higher Level) Examination will be offered at UL following the Leaving Certificate results for those students who did not achieve the Mathematics requirement.
+We welcome applications from mature students. Mature applicants must apply through the Central Applications Office (CAO) by 1 February.
+Your choice of programme needs to be made before the end of the first semester; there is no restriction on this choice, except that to continue with Mathematics and Physics you must take the physics module Mechanics/Heat/Electricity/Magnetism (PH4131) in the first semester, and similarly to continue with Economics and Mathematical Sciences you must take an economics module in the first semester. It is possible for you to select modules which leave all three options open for the second semester.

+Module Electives - what are they?
+Electives give you the opportunity to choose modules that you want to study.
+Each Semester you will be given a choice of a number of modules and you will be asked to select a certain amount to study. This can range from 1 module to 4 modules, based on the course.
+For example, you may be given a list of 4 modules, and will be asked to choose 2 to study for the upcoming semester.
+Course Pathways - what are they?
+A course pathway, or elective stream, is where you choose a particular area to specialise in within the broader course.
+The pathway you choose will influence the modules you can study each semester and will be recognised in your final degree as an area of expertise.
+For example, if you are studying Applied languages you are required to specialise in 2 languages from a selection of French, German, Irish and Spanish.

+
+
+
+
+Residency
+
+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course

+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+

+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+

+Have you ever wondered
+Why is the weather so difficult to predict?
+What do stock markets and earthquakes have in common?
+How can matter be a wave on atomic scales?
+How can wave mechanics produce the next generation of computers?
+How do you model the Universe in a computer?
+How does the spreading of a disease explain star formation?
+All of these questions share something in common; they can be answered at the interface of mathematics and physics. Understanding both subjects equally allows a unique view of the world that lets you capture and analyse its true complexity in an elegant way; it allows you to explain it, see effects not yet detected nor realized, and even predict how it will behave. You will need to be comfortable with mathematics, and have an innate curiosity as to how the world works. You should also be interested in applying your skills in mathematics and physics to understanding and solving real world problems.
+Entry route to Mathematics and Physics at UL is via:
+ LM124 Mathematics Common Entry
+or 
+LM125 Physics Common Entry.
+Why Study Mathematics and Physics at UL?
+Traditional mathematical physics degrees in Ireland have been narrow in their scope. This course seeks to provide a genuine mixture of the two subjects. In addition to developing core and advanced mathematical skills, training will be provided in fundamental physics spanning mechanics to quantum mechanics, and in state-of-the-art applications of physics such as nanotechnology.
+The analytical training and broad physical understanding of challenges likely to be encountered in an industrial setting will prove to be a valuable asset for prospective employers.  The applied aspects in particular will ensure that, on graduation, you will be at an advantage in comparison to more traditional Maths Physics graduates, when seeking employment in the smart economy. In such an economy envisaged by the Government, academic and industrial research will be closely coupled.

+This full time programme is of four years duration. The first two years are a combination of the main modules taken in both the mathematical sciences degree and the applied physics degree at UL.
+In these first two years the fundamental aspects of physics and mathematics are established. Physical subjects will include such topics as Mechanics, Waves, Light, Thermal Physics, Electromagnetism, and Modern Physics, which spans the scope of current basic understanding in physics. In addition, more applied topics are Optics and Semiconductors which are essential to modern technology.
+Mathematical subjects include Calculus, Algebra, Vector Analysis, Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Fourier Analysis and Computer Software.
+During the spring semester of the third year, a period of cooperative education (placement in industry) provides you with practical experience in a relevant work environment. This is organised by the University’s Cooperative Education Department in collaboration with representatives from various industries, both in Ireland and abroad. Students are interviewed by company representatives. On selection, they are offered full-time employment during the Cooperative Education period and are paid at a competitive rate.
+The remainder of the modules taken during third and fourth year offer a more in-depth view of both mathematics and physics. The offered modules include: Quantum Mechanics, Solid State Physics, Atomic, Molecular and Laser Physics, Nano-technology, Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations and Mathematics of Natural Phenomena. These more advanced subjects will prepare you for both an industrial career and also for a career in research and development.
+During the final year, a project is undertaken that allows you to analyse a particular problem in depth. This also gives students interested in postgraduate research an opportunity to carry out an exploratory investigation of a potential research topic.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria

+For me, the choice to study Maths and Physics at UL was easy to make. I had always wanted to go to UL, and Maths and Physics had been my favourite subjects in school. The course seemed like a natural fit to my desire to learn about how the universe works, while employing rigorous analytical and numerical techniques.
+I am involved in the design and testing of high-performance, low-noise single-photon-detecting sensors. The activities that this entails vary from day to day. I spend some days solving equations and running simulations to predict device performance or explain phenomena. Other days are spent on the implementation of these findings, by defining process conditions and ordering wafers from the foundry. Some weeks later, I analyse wafer-level test results and define packaging plans for the different devices on the wafers. Finally, some days, when we actually receive the resulting devices, I go into the lab and test them. Of course I don’t do it all on my own – there’s a lot of chatting and discussion involved to make sure we all agree on the best course of action!
+I feel that my course prepared me very well for my career. Studying subjects like Optics, Thermodynamics and Solid State Physics has given me an understanding of the various physical phenomena at play in my models. My Maths subjects have likewise given me a good understanding of the equations and numerical techniques used in my simulations. Sometimes I apply my knowledge of Maths to develop ad hoc algorithms to help me.
+My only advice to school leavers is to pick a course that you really think will suit you, rather than what people around you might think you “should” be doing.
+
+

+For me, the choice to study Maths and Physics at UL was an easy one. I loved studying Maths and Physics in secondary school and wanted to continue studying both in university, and the University of Limerick provided a balanced mixture of both. The development of core and advanced mathematical skills complements the array of physics modules I studies, spanning from optics to quantum mechanics, as well as the cutting-edge developments in nanotechnology and laser physics, which is indispensable in industry. 
+During the final year, I had the opportunity to undertake a project that allowed me to analyse a particular problem in fields of maths or physics in-depth. I studies a field of maths called inverse problems, which I continue to do now as a PhD researcher. This project provided me with both an opportunity to carry out an exploratory investigation and a means to begin a career as a postgraduate researcher. In this role, I study maths underlying the techniques of medical imaging and look to enhance current modalities. To do this, I employ various formula and theorems that I have studies throughout my course. This allows us to create better algorithms to improve the quality of the images of the interior of a body, so that we can detect anomalies in the body. 
+Studying here at UL has helped me develop the skills necessary for a wide variety of jobs in industry and academic research; skills I still use today. Studying subjects like electromagnetism, modern physics and solid state physics has given me an understanding of the various physical phenomena at play in my research, while the mathematic modules I have studies, such as partial differential equations and calculus, have given me a good understanding of the equations and numerical techniques used throughout my work. 
+My advice to all applicants is to choose a course that you will enjoy. It'll lead to a far more successful and fulfilling career than choosing a course that is 'supposed' to lead to a good job.

+The course is full time over four years. In the first two years of the programme, students are introduced to the principles of macro - and microeconomics, calculus, and statistics. The final two years of the programme concentrate on the development of skills in mathematical modelling, statistical analysis and econometrics and their application to a range of problems in economics. The second semester of Year 3 is spent on a Cooperative Education placement. You will gain experience in a working environment which requires the skills that you will have developed during your studies.
+In Years 2, 3 or 4, students can apply to spend a semester studying abroad at one of our partner institutes worldwide.

+
+You must have been living in an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland for at
+                                                        least 3 of the 5 years before starting your course
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Citizenship
+
+
+You must be a citizen of an EU/EEA member state or Switzerland or have
+                                                        official refugee status
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Course Requirements
+                                        (all must be met)
+                                        
+You must be a first time full-time undergraduate (Exceptions are provided
+                                                        for students who hold a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification and are progressing to
+                                                        a Level 8 course in the same general area of study).
+You must be undertaking a full-time undergraduate course of at least 2
+                                                        year’s duration
+You cannot be undertaking a repeat year of study at the same level unless
+                                                        evidence of exceptional circumstances eg serious illness is provided (in which
+                                                        case this condition may be waived)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Depending on how you meet these criteria your status will be one of the following -
+
+
+
+
+Free Fee Status: You satisfy all three categories (1, 2 and 3)
+                                                and therefore are eligible for the
+                                        Higher Education Authority’s Free Fees scheme.
+
+
+EU Fee Status: You satisfy both the citizenship and residency criteria 
+                                        but fail to satisfy the course requirements and are liable to EU fees.
+
+
+Non EU Fee Status: You do not meet either the citizenship or
+                                                residency criteria and are therefore liable to Non EU fees.

+I thoroughly enjoyed my experience throughout my BSc Economics and Mathematics. This course particularly suited me due to the fact it covered a wide range of topics from both a business and mathematics perspective. In this sense, I was able to gain a greater understanding of the business world while also developing skills in Data Analytics, Problem-solving and Computer Programming which I could apply in the business world. The common entry first year also gave me time to decide on which aspect I wanted to pursue further of Economics, Physics and Computer Science. I chose Economics as I felt this was the area I found most interesting and which also had the best career opportunities. Economics is a behavioural science and studies decision-making and the allocation of good and services in the market. This was of keen interest to me as I enjoy assessing the process of decision-making and also the optimal choices those in government should utilise to impact their economies. The learning style throughout the course involved elements of both individual and group based projects. This kept the learning interesting and allowed me to view problems from different perspectives as well as providing opportunities to improve my independent thinking and curiosity.
+Since completing my course I have chosen to train to become a Chartered Accountant in audit with PwC. Although, this course is not specifically geared towards this field it offers a wide range of modules which have really helped me throughout this pursuit. The key areas of focus to become a Chartered Accountant are Financial Reporting, Financing Decisions, Management Accounting and Taxation. During this course I gained a basic understanding of Financial Reporting but gained an in-depth knowledge of Management Economics and Financial decision making. However, where this course has really helped me in my career is in my day to day work. As part of this course we used a wide range computer software and programming applications such as Excel, PowerPoint, Matlab and R. These have proved invaluable to me as I can tidy data, process and understand data quickly effectively and create data visualisations throughout my day to day work in audit easily. Such examples would include assessing the variances of financial statements balances year on year, tidying large spreadsheet data into ready to analyse data and using analytical techniques to test financial statement balances. If you enjoy problem solving, have a mathematical mind and have an interest in data analytics this course is for you.

+This course is ideally split almost 50-50 between maths and economics. In this way, both subjects are developed at the same pace - being able to relate each to the other is a huge bonus.
+What I enjoy most about the course is the range of teaching methods used. Very few modules are purely taught on the whiteboard, or only taught through programming. Across both economics and maths, lecturers introduce the theory and then implement the theory though statistical programs. Because of this, I am well versed in around 5 different programming packages, which looks very well on my CV. Having all this programming knowledge as well as the underlying theory is very beneficial. It means I know how to apply the theory to real-world situations, to come to meaningful and useful results.
+I was on Co-Op placement in the world’s largest aircraft lessor, GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) in Shannon, Co. Clare. I never thought that the aviation industry was applicable to my degree, but that is the beauty of a joint degree with diverse subjects.
+I was part of the finance team for aircraft engine leasing. My role involved working with the worldwide engine team, updating monthly industry-demand reports based off real-world engine data, and issuing reports. I also had the opportunity to lead the rehaul of the department’s internal website. This was something completely new to me that was outside what I thought I could do. However, it was a fantastic thing to be part of, and I learnt many new skills in leadership and teamwork.
+Having industry experience like UL’s Co-Op placement is invaluable in the jobs market and is a great CV booster. It is highly attractive to employers and gives you an edge when it comes to graduate employment. Co-Op provides a great understand of the professional workplace and really embellishes the fantastic degree that you will get in UL.

+Laoise Coughlan
+My name is Laoise and I’m currently working as a Data Science Consultant in the Applied Intelligence Department of Accenture Dublin. I graduated from the University of Limerick in 2020 with a BSc in Economics and Mathematical Sciences. My first introduction to Accenture was during my co-op placement in 2019 which was organised through the UL Cooperative Placement Programme. This was a 7-month internship which gave me insight of life working in the data science industry and heavily influenced my future long term career decision. I returned to Accenture in January 2021 and have worked across various projects and industries over the last 2 years.

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+This programme is designed to produce Masters graduates who have an in-depth knowledge of instrumentation involved in Materials analysis and characterisation together with a detailed knowledge of Materials Science, Materials Processing, and Surface Technology. The specialist modules will allow students to become fully briefed in the material science and engineering associated with high strength materials used in the aero-industry or with techniques for materials and coatings selection design, together with the materials selection methods typically employed by engineering consultants. From this knowledge base, graduates could expect to work in many manufacturing sectors or consultancy or, to continue their education to PhD level.
+OBJECTIVES
+The objectives of the programme are:
+
+
+To provide science, engineering and technology graduates with a competitive edge for a career in high technology manufacturing industries
+To provide graduates with analytical skills and knowledge which prepare them for careers in manufacturing, R & D or product / process design
+To develop graduates with excellence in Materials Science and Engineering capability to underpin National and International Industrial development
+
+
+PROGRAMME OF STUDY
+This Master of Science course is a two Semester plus Summer full time programme based on a modular credit system (90 ECTS) and the course outline is given below. In Semester 1, students study analytical techniques (microscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray analysis; X-ray diffraction; IR-, UV- and Raman-spectroscopy, particle size analysis, NMR spectroscopy, specimen preparation), structure of materials (structure – mechanical property relationships for metals, polymers and ceramics, phase transformations with associated strengthening effects, failure processes), advanced materials processing (manufacturing with metals, ceramics, polymers and composites and typical coating methods). 
+Semester 1 also includes the study of typical management systems which are needed to standardize and audit manufacturing processes and systems in Industry. Semester 2 involves further study of analytical techniques and modelling software used for materials development /analysis and affords students exposure to Research challenges in Materials Science.
+Students choose one elective covering the detailed materials science / engineering associated with composite materials or aerospace metallic materials, and one elective in Semester 2 from either materials selection and design (interaction between material properties and engineering design criteria, in designing components and products for manufacture, computer aided materials selection) or surface degradation and protection (coatings for improved oxidation, corrosion and wear resistance).
+During Semester 2 students choose and begin work on a 45 credit research project supervised by world class researchers in Materials Science & Engineering. These projects involve the use of state of the art instrumentation at the University to acquire information on materials and processes suitable for high impact publications or IP protection.

+Brief Description
+The MSc Applied Physics is a calendar year programme intended for graduates of physical science and engineering. UL Physics works with companies such as Analog Devices, COOK Medical, Intel, Seagate and BorgWarner. This engagement advances science, develops new products and processes, and creates employment opportunities for our graduates.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The course is delivered by researchers at the cutting edge of next generation technologies. They have an outstanding track-record in producing scientific publications, and intellectual property, in materials for battery and energy harvesting, photonics devices, non-linear optics and imaging, atomistic simulations, 2D-materials, and medical devices.
+Our researchers are members of the Bernal Institute at UL which is one of the leading research institutes in Ireland, and have a tradition of experimental development, calibration, and validation that is transferred to our graduates.
+The Bernal Institute houses nationally unique scientific infrastructure for the preparation and characterization of novel materials and components. The Bernal laboratory of advanced microscopy houses the FEI Titan Transmission Electron Microscope, which is run by Professor Ursel Bangert, a world leading microscopy researcher, as well as the newly established Actuate Lab, led by ERC awardee Dr. Sarah Guerin.”
+The objective of the MSc Applied Physics programme is to meet the needs of graduates who wish to increase their skills with an understanding of applied physics and knowledge of the physical principles underlying material properties, and the operation of processes and equipment, for the research and high technology sectors.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The 1 Year MSc involves course work which extends over two trimesters and a work project which is carried out on a part-time basis in trimester 1 and 2 and on a full-time basis in the final summer trimester.  A passing grade in the entire project element will be a requirement to graduate with a MSc award. The modules are delivered over 5 trimesters in the 2 Year part-time programme.

+Saikat Bhowmick - “Hi, I am Saikat Bhowmick from India. I completed my Master’s degree in Applied Physics with First Class Honours, from the University of Limerick (UL), Ireland in 2018. After that, I did a Research Masters in chemistry and nanotechnology under the supervision of Professor Kevin Ryan and Dr. Ning Liu at the prestigious Bernal Institute at UL.At present,I am pursuing my PhD in Fluid Dynamics (School of Engineering) at UL under the supervision of Professor Harry Van Den Akker.
+There are various reasons for choosing the MSc in Applied Physics course at the University of Limerick. I had a good background in fundamental physics from my previous education and degrees. But, I wanted to gain specialized knowledge in the field of Applied Physics. I found that the MSc in Applied Physics course at UL was perfect for me. I took several modules on highly interesting topics like nanotechnology, the physics of medical instrumentation, and condensed matter physics, to name a few. The fact, that there is special emphasis on the application of the material learnt in class, in the form of tutorials, assignments, etc., makes this course quite different from others of its kind.
+Another reason why I chose this course was the fact that there is a perfect combination of taught modules and research in this course. I was interested in nanotechnology and electron microscopy and was fortunate to do my taught Masters Research Project at the prestigious Bernal Institute under the supervision of Professor Ursel Bangert. I was allowed to use the highly sophisticated facilities of the Bernal Institute including the JEOL Transmission Electron Microscope, for my taught Master’s Research Project.
+The professors and teachers in the Physics Department of UL are excellent and are all eminent researchers in their field.I learned a lot from them both during the classroom lectures and outside as well. All were very friendly, helpful, and accessible.
+Lastly, I would like to mention that UL is a wonderful place for studying. The campus is really vibrant and beautiful and there are lots of fun activities and events on the campus.
+I would highly recommend this Master’s in Applied Physics course to anyone
+who is thinking of gaining a thorough knowledge about applied physics and I sincerely think that pursuing this course has helped me a lot in following a successful career in research.”

+Brief Description
+The Master’s Degree in Art and Technology is a 12 month graduate program that fuses emergent media, computer science, electronic music and digital art. Through its strong emphasis on practice, the programme explores the impact that technological advances and art have had across cultural disciplines. Students develop critical skills in practice, production, research and theory.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+With an emphasis on the latest technological advances ‐ including computation, digital fabrication, robotics, and virtual reality ‐ the MA/MSc in Art and Technology offers a space to engage critically with the political, social and cultural implications of technology.
+Core to the programme is an experimental and exploratory approach that aims to speculate and engage with the limits of what is possible in technologically sophisticated art and media, from both an artistic and technical perspective.
+Centering around the student’s studio practice and portfolio development, the course places an emphasis on innovation and creative strategies. Students will develop their practice through creative research and an exchange of dialogue between peers, visiting artists and faculty.
+As a student on this programme you will:
+
+
+Engage critically with the artistic, political, social and cultural implications of technology.
+Work with an international body of artists, researchers and students.
+Be engaged with key fields of arts practice rooted in technology including expanded cinema and film, sound art and composition, interactive art, virtual and immersive systems.
+Be introduced to innovative coding, fabrication, and physical computing skills, and emerging approaches to AI, 3D printing, sound design, software studies, simulation and interactivity.
+Gain a range of creative technological skills, and the opportunity to develop new approaches with your own practice.

+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The programme is delivered through an innovative 12 month structure which begins with an intensive two week bootcamp that introduces students to the facilities and support available and establishes the common technical foundations for the programme. Following this students focus on the core aspects of critical theory, creative coding, physical computing, audio, and video.
+In the second semester, through small group teaching and specialist seminars and workshops, students explore the integration of advanced topics in areas including digital fabrication, composition, game design and coding in their practice. Students also begin the development of their major research project.
+The student’s final project and thesis is developed over the summer months and presented in a showcase exhibition at the end of August.

+Brief Description
+Applications are now closed for Autumn 2024 as the programme places have been filled.
+Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most exciting areas in computer science and engineering. AI and Machine Learning (ML) address the challenge of creating machines having the capability to learn, adapt and exhibit intelligence. AI research is revolutionising our lives and leading us to a world with self-driving cars, automated trading on stock markets, AI-assisted surgery, AI-controlled power grids, smartphones that can recognize objects / faces / speech, search engines that can translate languages, video games that exhibit responsive, adaptive and intelligent behavior.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+This new unique Programme embraces the new trends in AI by combining established AI techniques like:
+
+
+Unsupervised/Supervised/Reinforcement learning, Deep Learning, Parametric/Nonparametric regression and classification, Evolutionary Computation, Bayesian Networks and Search Algorithms,
+
+
+with emerging disciplines and technologies such as:
+
+
+Deep Reinforcement Learning, Causality modelling, Bioinspired robotics, Evolutionary robotics, Humanoid robotics, Games-inspired Behavior modelling, Automatic compliance checking, Automatic workflow synthesis, Machine-supported correctness, Probabilistic programming, and Explainable AI.
+
+
+Emphasis is on applying these techniques to a variety of application areas: text analytics and natural language processing, machine vision, games, smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, motion and planning, business analytics, finance and many others.

+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+This Master of Science course is a two Semester plus Summer full time programme based on a modular credit system (90 ECTS) and the course outline is given below. In Semester 1, students study analytical techniques (microscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray analysis; X-ray diffraction; IR-, UV- and Raman-spectroscopy, particle size analysis, NMR spectroscopy, specimen preparation), structure of materials (structure – mechanical property relationships for metals, polymers and ceramics, phase transformations with associated strengthening effects, failure processes), advanced materials processing (manufacturing with metals, ceramics, polymers and composites and typical coating methods).
+Semester 1 also includes the study of typical management systems which are needed to standardize and audit manufacturing processes and systems in Industry. This module also addresses regulatory affairs for the Biomedical Device Industry. Semester 2 involves further study of analytical techniques and modelling software used for materials development / analysis and affords students exposure to Research challenges in Materials Science. Students choose one specialised elective in each Semester which covers the detailed materials science associated with Biomedical devices and how new materials are being developed which have therapeutic value.
+During Semester 2 students choose and begin work on a 45 credit Biomedical Device Materials related research project supervised by highly published internationally recognised experts in Materials Science & Engineering. These projects involve the use of state of the art instrumentation at the University to acquire information on materials and processes suitable for publication in high impact journals or IP protection.

+Graduate Profile
+ 
+
+
+
+
+There are in excess of 250 medical technology companies in Ireland, exporting €7.9bn worth of product annually, making Ireland the second largest exporter of med tech devices in Europe and employing 25,000 people. Future forecasts by the IDA for the industry have identified the need for Materials related expertise in regenerative medicine and bioprocessing,  The Irish Medical Devices Association states that “The medical technology industry in Ireland is changing from being predominantly manufacturing to being more complex and driven by R&D” and this new M. Sc. programme is designed to empower individuals to create, and participate in, such change.
+Esther Adegoke - I am currently a Ph.D. student concentrating in the field of nanomaterials under the joint supervision of Prof. Kevin Ryan and Prof. Ursel Bangert. I obtained my MSc degree in Applied Physics at the University of Limerick in 2019, under the guidance of Prof. Ursel Bangert who is now a co-supervisor in my current research area. At UL you are given a potential research topic that matches your background and experience while having the freedom to develop your own research area of interest. My Science Foundation Ireland Funded research focuses on the investigative study of nanocrystal structure, interface, nucleation and growth mechanisms in these materials using aberration-corrected electron microscopy (EM) and In situ EM techniques. 
+ 
+Working with both the Nanotechnology and TEMUL group at the Bernal Institute has been a great experience with ample opportunity to engage in multiple research areas and collaborations. I have obtained training in techniques such as the use of State of the art microscopes and other high technology characterization tools. This has been invaluable to my career development.
+ 
+My journey so far has been exciting, from presenting my work at conferences to interacting, networking and exchanging research ideas with other Ph.D. students and experts from around the world. I now also have first-hand experience with teaching and leadership through laboratory demonstrations and these experiences have greatly improved my personal development towards being an independent researcher.

+Auryn Souness  -   I am currently a Manufacturing Engineering Team Leader @ Johnson & Johnson Vision Care - Combination Products.  I chose the MSc. Biomedical Device Materials as it covered topics such as material processing and analysis, as well as Standards and Regulations, which were applicable to the future career path I wanted to pursue. I was looking for a course that bridged the gap between academia and industry and after attending a UL Career Fair, felt this course was a perfect fit.   I chose UL as that was where I completed my BEng Biomedical Engineering course and really enjoyed my time there. 
+The guest lectures who covered various material analysis and characterisation techniques were really interesting. I also enjoyed the focus on group work and hands-on tutorials.  The course director and faculty staff were also brilliant at answering any queries or concerns.  The best thing about the course was being able to decide the area of focus for my Thesis and working on a research topic I personally found interesting.  I was able to publish my thesis as main author in an international scientific journal. I also had the opportunity to present my thesis at the 33rd International Manufacturing Conference at UL which was a fantastic opportunity to present my findings to a wider audience.
+Classes were face to face lectures and tutorials and I got to use state of the art equipment in the Bernal Institute during course workshops. Assessments were covered by group projects, presentations, labs and individual reports. Following on from the course I have gained a number of key connections in UL, which has resulted in me providing career talks to current students in the MSc. Biomedical Device Materials.  It also helped hugely in developing my interpersonal skills and presentation skills which are skills I use daily in my current role at JNJ.
+I have a keen interest in New Product Introduction and bringing concept to reality in an industrial setting. I would love to continue to work in this field and eventually guide and direct a multi-functional team at a divisional level.  My top tip for any prospective student is to interact and join the various clubs & societies at UL and to push yourself both personally and academically to grow before entering graduate employment.

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+ 
+The MSc is a one year full time (fully online) or two year part time programme which is delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials, interactive group and one-on-one sessions, and research project work.
+Students will learn about the latest advances in biochemistry and biomanufacturing including computational modelling. Tutorials will emphasise problem-based learning to encourage creative self-directed learning and equip students with advanced numerical and computational skills for proactive troubleshooting in industrial bioprocessing.
+Guest speakers at the cutting edge of current industry regulatory affairs will present during the programme. These lectures will be supplemented with additional reading material, assignments, discussion forums and quizzes.
+Through the Summer research project students will develop their enquiry-based learning and presentation skills as they explore scientific and technical issues currently facing bio-based industries.

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+ 
+The MSc is a one year full time (fully online) or two year part time programme which is delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials, interactive group and one-on-one sessions, and research project work.
+Students will learn about the latest advances in biochemistry and biomanufacturing including computational modelling. Tutorials will emphasise problem-based learning to encourage creative self-directed learning and equip students with advanced numerical and computational skills for proactive troubleshooting in industrial bioprocessing.
+Guest speakers at the cutting edge of current industry regulatory affairs will present during the programme. These lectures will be supplemented with additional reading material, assignments, discussion forums and quizzes.
+Through the Summer research project students will develop their enquiry-based learning and presentation skills as they explore scientific and technical issues currently facing bio-based industries.

+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The programme is a full time course which spans an academic year plus an additional six week project period (Summer Semester: mid May to July). Students study five taught modules in Autumn Semester, five taught modules in Spring Semester, and complete the design project during summer semester.
+As well as learning the relevant theory, students are given laboratory training on the practical aspects of processing operations, and they also have the opportunity to gain expertise in the use of a number of industry-standard chemical engineering design and simulation software packages.
+The programme includes a series of one-day plant visits, where students get a chance to tour chemical processing facilities and to interact first-hand with chemical engineering professionals.  In order to ensure relevance to the needs of the job market, the design and development of the programme is carried out in close consultation with Irish chemical and pharmaceutical companies.  A medal and prize is awarded each year by Merck Sharp & Dohme Ltd for the student graduating with highest marks.

+MSC DATA SCIENCE AND STATISTICAL LEARNING - GRADUATE PROFILE
+Name: Stephen McKermitt
+Course: MSc Data Science & Statistical Learning, 2023
+From: Galway, Ireland
+Why did you choose UL?
+The last two years of my bachelor's degree were remote and I knew I wanted to continue my studies in person once the pandemic had died down. I noticed there was a real buzz around data science and artificial intelligence online which piqued my interest. After delving a bit deeper I discovered that I really enjoyed these topics and decided I would pursue them in further education. I had always wanted to attend the University of Limerick. I would often come down to visit my friends and thought the campus and city were fantastic. I did some research and noticed that UL were running a new MSc course in data science and statistical learning.
+ 
+What did you like best about your time at UL (and Limerick)?
+I had the pleasure of studying along side some really great people from all around the world. I really enjoyed getting to know my coursemates. All of the lecturers that I interacted with were very down-to-earth and would always be willing to lend a helping hand. I also really appreciated how well kept and modern the campus was. I quite liked the designated masters student area of the library, it was an excellent environment to get some work done.
+What have you been doing since you graduated?
+I started a job at ASML in the Netherlands about a month after I finished my thesis. I have been working as a technical support engineer. I spend a lot of time analysing data from ASML’s systems to try diagnose issues and brainstorm solutions. The job is a nice mix of the things I learned in my physics bachelors degree and my data science masters degree.
+In what way did your course prepare you for your career?
+The MSc really helped refine my problem solving skills. It also helped me gain a much greater knowledge of programming and data analysis tools. It taught me how to gain an understanding of a topic quickly.
+Any advice for people thinking about coming to UL and doing this programme?
+Go to as many lectures as you can, the lecturers are there to help! Get to know your coursemates, learning is more fun when it’s in groups. Have fun!

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Design is an important driver of economic growth, integral to both industry and society. EGFSN together for Design (2020) identified three major types of design as important for Ireland’s economic success: - Digital design;(Digital Media, Interaction Design, Web Design) - Product design; (Product Design Innovation, Process Design, Manufacturing Design) and - Strategic design; (Service Design, Design Thinking, Co-Design, Design Management, Design Innovation).
+The core design modules on this program are based on conducting research in a health care setting to produce a design guide. This forms the basis of the subsequent ideation process to create a breath of product and service system solutions. The design modules are complimented with modules in business, entrepreneurship and health promotion. The program emphasises problem solving and creativity that centres on interdisciplinary collaboration, human centred design and contemporary design processes.
+Graduates of this course will be able to:
+- Demonstrate an understanding of the design process as applied to generating product or service solutions based on a design guide.
+- Apply product design principles in the identification of opportunities for new products and services to health and wellbeing challenges, using appropriate design tools.
+- Appreciate the concept of health and its various determinants and how these influence product and service design.
+The programme is delivered in a design studio environment, through flexible online and on campus teaching. The focus is on cultivating a culture of creativity, peer learning and transdisciplinary collaboration.
+The approach is based on real-world challenges linked with industry (medical devices, life sciences) and healthcare providers. Through this real-world approach students learn to identify stakeholder needs and develop a breath of solutions through ideation. Participants will conduct research in a clinical setting as well as work on external partner specified design briefs around specific development requests.

+Graduate Profile

+
+“From the short 6 weeks we've done, it's clear that you have created a wonderful safe space for people to be themselves and nurture their wonderful ideas. I love the blue sky ideas' element. I really feel this module should be merged into a nursing degree or any healthcare-related profession. Nurses, in particular, in our daily workloads are improvising to improve patients care if we don't have the necessary equipment or product to hand. We adapt to our environment. What I find interesting is the number of people who say 'I'm not creative', people just need to be armed with the skills to do so. This module has ignited my ever curious mind. So thank you all for providing an interesting module.” Student

+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Smart devices and the popularity of cloud services have created a new computing paradigm known as Edge Computing to process information data at the edge of a network. Edge computing is computing that takes place at or near the physical location and involves capturing, storing, processing, and analysing data closer to the location where it is needed to improve response times and save bandwidth. Edge computing will generate billions of new Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints and real-time artificial intelligence (AI) for autonomous systems. It will also enable intelligent applications and devices to respond to data almost instantaneously, which is critical for the deployment of new age technologies such as self-driving cars, vision systems, healthcare transformation, sustainable energy management and smart manufacturing systems.
+Programme Aims:
+
+
+To equip students with knowledge of electronic technologies ranging from network and cloud infrastructure solutions to IoT systems and applications.
+To enhance learning in communications and computer systems, networking architectures and cybersecurity, including artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge and its application in the field of edge computing.
+To provide know-how of edge computing platforms, communication & security protocols, real-time data processing fundamentals including AI/Machine Learning (ML) design and implementation.
+To enhance graduates existing educational base and employment prospects.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The course spans a single academic year (12 months) and comprises ten taught modules which are taken in semesters one and two and a substantial project which is completed in semester three. Students who pass the taught element of the programme will be offered the opportunity to complete their project/dissertation in semester 3 and graduate with a Master of Engineering in Edge Computing.  Students who do not want to complete the dissertation can opt to graduate with a Graduate Diploma in Edge Computing on successful completion of 60 credits.

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Smart devices and the popularity of cloud services have created a new computing paradigm known as Edge Computing to process information data at the edge of a network. Edge computing is computing that takes place at or near the physical location and involves capturing, storing, processing, and analysing data closer to the location where it is needed to improve response times and save bandwidth. Edge computing will generate billions of new Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints and real-time artificial intelligence (AI) for autonomous systems. It will also enable intelligent applications and devices to respond to data almost instantaneously, which is critical for the deployment of new age technologies such as self-driving cars, vision systems, healthcare transformation, sustainable energy management and smart manufacturing systems.
+Programme Aims:
+
+
+To equip students with knowledge of electronic technologies ranging from network and cloud infrastructure solutions to IoT systems and applications.
+To enhance learning in communications and computer systems, networking architectures and cybersecurity, including artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge and its application in the field of edge computing.
+To provide know-how of edge computing platforms, communication & security protocols, real-time data processing fundamentals including AI/Machine Learning (ML) design and implementation.
+To enhance graduates existing educational base and employment prospects.

+Entry Requirements
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Applicants must already hold two Professional Diploma awards, 30 ECTS each at Level 9 (example of pathways above in Overview), with a minimum second class honours grade two (2.2) or equivalent, as deemed appropriate by the Academic Programme Director. Note: The 60 ECT credits alone (not the grades) are carried over from the two professional diplomas. Therefore the final award is based solely on the grade earned for the thesis.
+A student’s route/specialism for the Masters must be from one of the two routes from which they completed their Professional Diplomas.
+For example, a student may have completed a Professional Diploma in Innovation and one in Aviation. Their route on the MSc in Engineering practice must be within one of these two areas. The route will be indicated on the applicants academic transcript.
+Please note: 
+Applications will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
+

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Maintaining both the quality of life and a clean and healthy environment is now a major concern of Government, employers, non-governmental organisations and citizens. The EU now has a very comprehensive environmental policy, and as a Member State, Ireland is obliged to act in accordance with this policy.
+More stringent environmental requirements are being placed on industry and community in areas such as energy usage, waste minimisation, waste management, recycling, water and air quality. Consequently, there is a strong demand for graduates with a scientific understanding of environmental and health and safety issues, together with a full knowledge of technological and management methods available to help improve the quality of our environment.

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+Maintaining both the quality of life and a clean and healthy environment is now a major concern of Government, employers, non-governmental organisations and citizens. The EU now has a very comprehensive environmental policy, and as a Member State, Ireland is obliged to act in accordance with this policy.
+More stringent environmental requirements are being placed on industry and community in areas such as energy usage, waste minimisation, waste management, recycling, water and air quality. Consequently, there is a strong demand for graduates with a scientific understanding of environmental and health and safety issues, together with a full knowledge of technological and management methods available to help improve the quality of our environment.

+Brief Description
+The Master of Science in Functional Foods and Product Development is an innovative, evidence-based interdisciplinary programme, with research excellence in food science at its centre. Students will explore the theoretical and practical science & technologies behind the development and validation of functional foods, ranging from conceptualization of food development to human interventions and food efficacy. The course program offers a wide variety of Modules that will aid the student to design in vitro (i.e., chemical and cell-based protocols) and in vivo (i.e. yeasts, animals, and human interventions) protocols. Additionally, the student will be able to analyse data and make inferences about the effectiveness/functionality of the ingredient and/or food models developed.
+Programme Highlights
+-Hands-on experience in sensory and consumer analysis
+-Practical experience in developing foods and ingredients
+-Practical experience in modelling and optimisation of foods and ingredients
+- Emphasis on project management, innovation, business and entrepreneurship
+-Focus on the EFSA regulations on Novel Foods and Health Claims
+-Experimental research project as a promoter of your analytical skills

+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The Modules are offered in the Department of Biological Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering) in collaboration with other M.Sc programmes at UL. They cover a wide range of topics: from EFSA regulation to Clinical trials: sensory analysis, product development, fermentation-based products, functional lipids and protein-based ingredients, nutraceuticals and epidemiology. 
+Modules are focused on translational research methods: from idea mining to efficacy in vivo. 
+The lectures will be supplemented with additional reading material, assignments, and discussion forums. Through the applied research project, students will develop their scientific and technical skills on different topics, such as analytical and organic chemistry, food technologies, regulatory issues, and oral/writing abilities.
+Students may choose either to apply and complete the 90 credits and be granted a M.Sc award or to apply to the Postgraduate Diploma programme and complete 60 credits (no completion of the research project).

+Brief Description
+The Master of Science in Functional Foods and Product Development is an innovative, evidence-based interdisciplinary programme, with research excellence in food science at its centre. Students will explore the theoretical and practical science & technologies behind the development and validation of functional foods, ranging from conceptualization of food development to human interventions and food efficacy. The course program offers a wide variety of Modules that will aid the student to design in vitro (i.e., chemical and cell-based protocols) and in vivo (i.e. yeasts, animals, and human interventions) protocols. Additionally, the student will be able to analyse data and make inferences about the effectiveness/functionality of the ingredient and/or food models developed.
+Programme Highlights
+-Hands-on experience in sensory and consumer analysis
+-Practical experience in developing foods and ingredients
+-Practical experience in modelling and optimisation of foods and ingredients
+- Emphasis on project management, innovation, business and entrepreneurship
+-Focus on the EFSA regulations on Novel Foods and Health Claims
+-Experimental research project as a promoter of your analytical skills

+
+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The Modules are offered in the Department of Biological Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering) in collaboration with other M.Sc programmes at UL. They cover a wide range of topics: from EFSA regulation to Clinical trials: sensory analysis, product development, fermentation-based products, functional lipids and protein-based ingredients, nutraceuticals and epidemiology. 
+Modules are focused on translational research methods: from idea mining to efficacy in vivo. 
+The lectures will be supplemented with additional reading material, assignments, and discussion forums. Through the applied research project, students will develop their scientific and technical skills on different topics, such as analytical and organic chemistry, food technologies, regulatory issues, and oral/writing abilities.
+Students may choose either to apply and complete the 90 credits and be granted a M.Sc award or to apply to the Postgraduate Diploma programme and complete 60 credits (no completion of the research project).

+Brief Description
+The Postgraduate Diploma in Functional Foods and Product Development is an innovative, evidence-based interdisciplinary programme, with research excellence in food science at its centre. Students will explore the theoretical and practical science & technologies behind the development and validation of functional foods, ranging from conceptualization of food development to human interventions and food efficacy. The course program offers a wide variety of Modules that will aid the student to design in vitro (i.e., chemical and cell-based protocols) and in vivo (i.e. yeasts, animals, and human interventions) protocols. Additionally, the student will be able to analyse data and make inferences about the effectiveness/functionality of the ingredient and/or food models developed.
+Programme Highlights
+-Hands-on experience in sensory and consumer analysis
+-Practical experience in developing foods and ingredients
+-Practical experience in modelling and optimisation of foods and ingredients
+- Emphasis on project management, innovation, business and entrepreneurship
+-Focus on the EFSA regulations on Novel Foods and Health Claims
+-Experimental research project as a promoter of your analytical skills
+Alternative programmes in this discipline include: Functional Foods and Product Development - MSc | University of Limerick (ul.ie)

+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The Postgraduate Diploma/M.Sc in Functional Foods & Product Development offered at the University of Limerick (UL) is delivered either over 1 year (full time) or 2 years (part-time). This innovative evidence-based interdisciplinary programme explores the theoretical and practical science and technologies behind the development and validation of functional foods, ranging from conceptualization of food development to human interventions.
+ 
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The Modules are offered in the Department of Biological Sciences (Faculty of Science and Engineering) in collaboration with other M.Sc programmes at UL. They cover a wide range of topics: from EFSA regulation to Clinical trials: sensory analysis, product development, fermentation-based products, functional lipids and protein-based ingredients, nutraceuticals and epidemiology. 
+Modules are focused on translational research methods: from idea mining to efficacy in vivo. 
+The lectures will be supplemented with additional reading material, assignments, and discussion forums. Through the applied research project, students will develop their scientific and technical skills on different topics, such as analytical and organic chemistry, food technologies, regulatory issues, and oral/writing abilities.
+Students may choose either to apply and complete the 90 credits and be granted a M.Sc award or to apply to the Postgraduate Diploma programme and complete 60 credits (no completion of the research project).

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+This course will provide training in techniques of applied mathematics, and will focus largely on mathematical models of real world processes, their formulation in terms of differential equations, and methods of solutions, both numerical and analytical, of the models. A focus of the course will be an emphasis on practical problems which arise in industry, commerce, medicine, as well as the environmental and life sciences. In particular, there will be a close alliance between the course and research problems in industrial applied mathematics, which is a principal research strand underpinning MACSI research.
+Programme Aims:
+
+
+To provide a first year of intensive taught courses as part of a structured graduate programme for MACSI postgraduates and to enable graduates of engineering and other disciplines to redirect their training towards mathematical modelling.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+The first two semesters will be examined on coursework from both a mandatory core and a suite of optional courses from which the student can choose.  The coursework will be followed by the preparation of a dissertation over the summer months under close supervision.  The dissertation will be at research level, and may focus on a problem that arises through MACSI’s connections with industry.  The MSc can also be taken part time over a 2 or 3 year period, after consultation with the Course Director.  This course will provide training in applied mathematics techniques and will focus on mathematical models of real world processes, their formulation in terms of differential equations and methods of solution – both numerical and analytical.  Practical problems will be drawn from the industrial, commercial, medical, environmental and life science domains.

+Black Belt
+The University of Limerick and several leading Irish companies designed this course to meet the standards of a black belt. While there is no single authority that issues Black Belts in Lean or Six Sigma, the industry group and university carried out extensive research in designing this course to ensure that the course met the general standards that are expected of a Black Belt holder. 
+Successful participants will receive a letter from the University of Limerick stating that their capability is at black belt level.

+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+For Whom
+Those who have responsibility for quality or continuous improvement within their organisation including managers, engineers, supervisors and technicians. The programme is suited to a variety of industry sectors both in manufacturing and services, including the public sector.
+Delivery:
+Students are required to take three taught modules over two semesters. In addition to the taught modules, an in-company project will ensure a strong focus on the integration of the concepts tools and techniques in the participant’s organisation during the course of the programme. This course is delivered online but students may be invited on campus for an orientation day (on a Saturday) during their first semester.
+In Company Project
+Completion of this programme requires a substantial industry-based project, to be reported in the form of a management report.  
+Six Sigma projects require the application of the concepts covered throughout the programme and carry an expectation of helping participant organisations realise a major benefit. This benefit should be quantifiable in terms of reduction or saving in; defects, over-production, waiting, non-utilised talent, transportation, inventory, motion, and/or extra-processing. 
+Black Belt
+The University of Limerick and several leading Irish companies designed this course to meet the standards of a black belt. While there is no single authority that issues Black Belts in Lean or Six Sigma, the industry group and university carried out extensive research in designing this course to ensure that the course met the general standards that are expected of a Black Belt holder. 
+Successful participants will receive a letter from the University of Limerick stating that their capability is at black belt level.

+This programme, offered by the Chemical Sciences Department, is unique in that it is designed and delivered by Regulatory professionals. 
+Applicants are encouraged to register and apply online via the Springboard website, see the apply now button above.

+Brief Description
+Start Date: September & January
+The course will create graduates that understand the theory and practical application of quality management tools and techniques, with particular emphasis on the areas of Lean and Six Sigma as they would apply to their own organisation. It will educate and train participants in specific quality management skills in both the lean and six sigma domains and in strategic and transferable business skills. A graduate of the programme will be considered a Master Black Belt in Lean and Six Sigma.
+This Masters programme is also available as an apprenticeship with up to 80% fees paid by SOLAS & HEA. To find out more about whether you are eligible for apprenticeship funding, please see here.

+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+For Professionals Who 
+
+
+Are responsible for or actively engaged in organisational improvement and development through the use of quality management.
+Wish to develop a comprehensive understanding of the theory and practical application of quality management tools and techniques.
+Seek recognition as a Master Black Belt in Lean and Six Sigma.
+
+
+ 
+How It Works 
+
+
+
+
+The course is delivered over 2 years with a prescribed progression route.   
+
+
+
+
+Students complete 6 taught modules, 2 work based projects (one in lean and one in six sigma) and an Enterprise Improvement project/dissertation  
+
+
+
+
+The Masters in Strategic Quality Management, Lean Sigma Systems is a 2 year programme, but applicants who have already completed either or both Specialist/Professional Diplomas in Lean and/or Six Sigma at the University of Limerick can apply to be enrolled directly to Year 2 of the Masters and complete within one year.  
+ 
+Enterprise Improvement Project 
+Completion of the MSc programme requires a substantial industry-based Enterprise Improvement Project (EIP), to be reported in the form of a Journal Article.  The EIP requires the application of the concepts, tools and techniques of both lean and six sigma covered throughout the programme and carries an expectation of helping participant organisations realise a significant benefit that impacts their strategic and operational direction. 
+This benefit should be clearly stated in the project scope and with a specific target around process optimisation that aims to reduce process defects and waste, and to provide a framework for culture change.    
+ 
+Black Belt
+The University of Limerick and several leading Irish companies designed this course to meet the standards of a black belt. While there is no single authority that issues Black Belts in Lean or Six Sigma, the industry group and university carried out extensive research in designing this course to ensure that the course met the general standards that are expected of a Masters Black Belt holder. 
+Successful participants will receive a letter from the University of Limerick stating that their capability is at Master Black Belt level.

+Student Orientation
+Our two-week online orientation module prepares students for ongoing success across the programme. Students are introduced to and familiarised with the online learning model, including set-up on the platform, reading requirements, communication, workload and time management.
+Module. Break. Repeat.
+Only one module will run at any one time, and each taught module will run for a period of five weeks. This gives students the benefit of focusing their time and thinking exclusively about one area of supply chain management at each stage.
+A Head Start for Your Thesis
+Writing a master’s thesis can be daunting. Our Masters of Supply Chain Operations takes a different approach to the thesis project. Firstly, the thesis is work-based, so there’s opportunity to apply course learnings and insights to a company-related issue. Both employees and their companies benefit from this approach.
+Course Delivery
+
+
+100% Online Delivery
+
+
+A central interactive platform hosts the complete syllabus, and students can access course materials anytime and anywhere. Our online model is proving to have unprecedented levels of interaction and engagement amongst our international students and is guided by academic and industry experts.
+
+
+
+
+Tutor-led Interactive Lectures
+
+
+We host virtual class sessions where learners receive direction from subject matter experts and ask questions about their projects. These are recorded and made available for replay throughout the programme period.
+
+
+
+
+Collaborative Group Work
+
+
+Even though this is a fully online programme, many of the modules provide an opportunity to work in groups and collaborate with peers in different locations and working in different industry sectors. Remote working is now commonplace in real projects, and you’ll gain experiential knowledge of how to work in virtual teams when preparing group submissions.
+
+
+
+
+Cooperative E-tivities
+
+
+E-tivities are online activities where students and tutors can interact and give feedback to one another. They provide an excellent way for learners to share ideas and perspectives across different contexts and industry sectors. In effect, e-tivities help create an online learning community where everybody learns together.
+
+
+
+
+Online Resources
+
+
+All necessary readings are provided through e-books and other online resources made available through the University of Limerick library facilities.

+Brief Description
+This one year MSc programme is distinctive in several important ways. While we recognise the major environmental and sustainability challenges facing us, the main focus is not on the challenges themselves, which are well known, but rather on actions we can take to reduce the threats and enhance our resilience. Students come from a wide variety of countries and disciplines but share a common interest in a desire to learn what has been done, and what might be done, to address these challenges. All the modules are taught by active researchers and experiences practitioners. The first semester provided by National University Ireland Galway has a focus on rural landscapes, and focuses on practical methods to meet challenges in managing land and habitats to maintain essential ecosystem services and biodiversity. The second semester offered by University of Limerick focuses on urban areas, sustainable transport, industrial waste management and quantitative methods of assessing sustainability. In the third semester students have the opportunity to select a research topic which is based in either campus. On completion graduates receive a parchment jointly awarded by both universities. Graduates find relevant and interesting employment in many arenas, including conservation, business and industry, local authorities and consultancy companies.

+
+
+
+Overview
+ 
+
+
+
+
+This novel course is a multidisciplinary approach to environmental sustainability devised by UL and NUIG to respond to the continuing interest among students in an environmental/resource management taught MSc., and to market demands for graduates with more applied knowledge of the environmental sector. Strongly research led, it is unique in that it combines the expertise of both institutions in relation to urban form and function and landscape evaluation and management for conservation in a jointly awarded MSc postgraduate degree.
+The 12-month long course comprises new modules taught only at postgraduate level and aims to provide participants with the skills, knowledge and experience that are needed to pursue successful careers in managing environmental resources sustainably. The course will help develop government policy and economic recovery by producing top quality graduates who can contribute to a smart economy and hasten implementation of green technologies. Given the pressure on and competition for limited resources, the course applies an evidence based approach to developing solutions for all system users. Graduates will become technically fluent in selected environmental science theory, policy development, implementation and best practice.
+Students who undertake this course will:
+
+
+develop a technical and scientific understanding of sustainability issues and problems associated with management of resource use and management in relation to (a) urban form and function and (b) landscape evaluation and management for conservation.
+comprehend a range of policy responses in relation to enhancement of sustainability in Irish urban and rural settings, and selected international case studies.
+synthesise an understanding of the complexity of both natural and socio-economic-natural systems, together with an understanding of existing and innovatory sustainability policy options, to develop a competency in identifying and evaluating optimal policy options.

+Programme Content
+ 
+
+
+
+
+This programme brings together theory, policy and practice to provide participants with the skills, knowledge and experience that are needed to pursue successful careers in managing environmental resources sustainably.
