The ME Energy Systems programme prepares engineers for work in designing and developing future energy systems and aims to deepen understanding of the interactions between these systems and the environment and energy policy, taking account of economic factors. The scope of the programme includes analysis of global energy systems, use of finite natural resources and the impact on climate. It focuses on renewable and other energy sources such as wind, wave, nuclear and solar power and on the conversion, storage and transmission by electrical and other means. The programme will also address the efficient use of energy in buildings, transport and industrial processes, together with the study of other topics such as carbon sequestration.

Candidates who have already completed a 4-year professional engineering bachelor’s degree may be eligible for recognition of prior learning, enabling them to complete this programme over 12 months.

The scope of the programme includes analysis of global energy systems, use of finite natural resources and the impact on climate. It focuses on use of fossil fuels and on renewable and other energy sources such as wind, wave, nuclear and solar power and on the conversion, storage and transmission by electrical and other means. The programme also addresses the efficient use of energy in buildings, transport and industrial processes, together with the study of other topics such as carbon capture and sequestration.

About This Course

This professionally accredited masters prepares its graduates for work in designing and developing future energy systems, taking account of climate impact / CO2 emissions, security of energy supply and economic competitiveness concerns

  • Advanced knowledge and understanding of the mathematics, sciences, engineering sciences and technologies underpinning Energy Systems engineering.
  • The ability to identify, formulate, analyse and solve complex engineering problems
  • The ability to perform the detailed design of a novel system, component or process using analysis and interpretation of relevant data.
  • The ability to design and conduct experiments and to apply a range of standard and specialised research (or equivalent) tools and techniques of enquiry.
  • An understanding of the need for high ethical standards in the practice of engineering, including the responsibilities of the engineering profession towards people and the environment.
  • The ability to work effectively as an individual, in teams and in multidisciplinary settings, together with the capacity to undertake lifelong learning.
  • The ability to communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large.

 

Graduates of this ME Energy Systems programme will be equipped with the skill set and knowledge vital for crucial roles in research, design and development in companies in the energy sector. Alumni from this programme have obtained jobs in a wide variety of organisations in Ireland and further afield, the majority in the energy sector.

Previous employers of ME in Energy Systems Graduates include: EirGrid (Dublin), ESB International (Dublin), ESB Networks, SEAI, Accenture (Dublin), PwC (Ireland), Arup (Ireland), EY, Mainstream Renewable Power, TerraSolar, EPRI, ElectroRoute, GridBeyond, Berkeley Lab, Berkeley (California), Commission for Energy Regulation (Dublin), Dublin Airport Authority, Intel Ireland Limited, Veolia Ireland, Irish Water, Fingleton White, Dimplex Renewables (Irl), Dynapower LLC (USA), Eclareon (Spain), Exergyn (Dublin), ThermoKing, Irish Cement, Enercon GmbH (Ireland and Germany), Imtech (UK), Independent Market Operator (Perth, Australia), Intel (Ireland), Irish Cement Limited, KBR (Australia), KBR (UK), MCS Kenny (UK), National Grid (UK), Northstar Drillstem Testers, Edmonton, (Canada), Arup, AECOM, PM Group (Ireland), RPS Group (Ireland), Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia), Schletter UK Ltd, Schwenk Zement (Germany), Sea Breeze Power Corp (Canada), EDF Energy UK (Nuclear), and Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), Melbourne.

Significant numbers of graduates have also decided to pursue further study to PhD level, at UCD and elsewhere.

The Professional Work Experience (PWE) module is incorporated into the two-year Masters of Engineering Programme and is designed to integrate a student’s academic and career interests with practical work experience for a 6-8 month period.



The module provides students with the perfect opportunity to gain increased experience and understanding of their chosen field, assess where their strengths and weaknesses lie and maximise their knowledge of the available career possibilities. The practical skills acquired during this placement will give graduates a competitive advantage when applying for positions upon graduation.

UCD ranks 1st in Ireland and in the top 50 worldwide in the QS Sustainability rankings 2023, which focus on what institutions are doing to tackle the world’s greatest environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges

Graduate Profile - Siúin O’Riordan

"I chose to do the Master’s in Energy Systems Engineering in UCD to broaden my skills and career opportunities and to be trained to work in the energy systems industry. This master’s course allowed me to specialise in energy systems while also gaining important engineering skills. The course included an 8-month professional work placement which was another important factor in choosing the master’s. This work experience has given me confidence in approaching interviews, working as part of a professional team and developing my future career in the renewable energy sector. The high-quality material provided and the wide variety of modules offered have provided me with a deeper understanding of the current and future technical and economic challenges faced by the world’s energy systems. The master’s has prepared me to work as an engineer and be involved in future energy solutions."
