Stage 4

Engineering Science Stage 4 Energy Sys Engineering Stream is a 60 Credit undergraduate year of study. Following successful completion of Stage 4, students will progress into Stage 2 (Year 2) of their Master of Engineering (ME) Programme, and modules from Stage 4 will be mapped forward in place of Stage 1 (Year 1) of the ME. Students may need to consult with the Programme Director before registering to their modules.
Note: Students who have not been registered on a full time basis during Stages 2 & 3 to the UCD majors in either “Mechanical Engineering (NMS1)” or “Electronic Engineering or Electrical Engineering (NES1)” (e.g. due to Study Abroad) should consult with the Programme Director before finalising their Stage 4 module registration.

Below is a list of all modules offered for this degree in the current academic year. Click on the module to discover what you will learn in the module, how you will learn and assessment feedback profile amongst other information.

Incoming Stage 1 undergraduates can usually select an Elective in the Spring Trimester. Most continuing undergraduate students can select up to two Elective modules (10 Credits) per stage. There is also the possibility to take up to 10 extra Elective credits.
