The MEngSc Engineering Management programme offers a unique opportunity for engineering students to deepen their knowledge of the areas of business and management and is open to engineering students of all disciplines. This programme is aimed at students who have already completed a bachelor’s degree in Engineering and wish to embark on successful careers in the management of global engineering and technology firms. This one-year master’s degree provides grounding in operations, quality, marketing, systems planning, and analysis while building on students’ technical expertise to develop the next generation of industry leaders. We seek to develop creative problem solvers who can critically analyse problems in a business context, and propose and develop practical and feasible solutions. Our teaching methods and learning environment are highly interactive and varied, and include lectures, workshops, tutorials, labs, and practical exercises. Group-based modular projects and a final applied company-based consultancy project enable students to integrate the covered theoretical knowledge with practice. All these unique features are the key elements in the programme’s design and success over the years.
This programme is delivered by the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering which has 50 years' experience in teaching Engineering Management.

Career opportunities are very broad as the MEngSc Engineering Management students are not narrow technical specialists but “T-shaped” individuals combining specialist skills with a broad understanding of the business environment. Apart from the usual engineering discipline-specific job opportunities based on their bachelor’s degree, the students accomplishing this one-year master’s degree will be equipped with enough knowledge and experience to pursue a career related to the job positions, such as quality analyst, data analyst, operations analyst, supply chain planner, project management and continuous improvement analyst. The acquired skill sets are invaluable when embarking upon careers in many sectors including energy, consumer goods, medical technology, management consulting, ICT and automotive. Prospective employers include Accenture, Intel, RPS, SAP, Maxim Integrated, Boston Scientific, Microsoft, PwC, Deloitte, Accenture and many more.

Applied research project: This programme offers a unique opportunity to the students to apply their acquired knowledge during the first two trimesters to a practical company-based problem during the summer trimester. The project topic may be of direct relevance to a company sponsor who will outline their project requirements in consultation with the student team and the academic supervisor. To prepare for their project, each student will participate in a series of workshops designed to develop consultancy and research skills. This summer project provides immense opportunity to the students to demonstrate their capabilities while working with a company, increasing their chances of employment with the same company.

Graduate Profile - Abhijit Santhanam, Boston Scientific
"UCD’s worldwide reputation and the program structure, made UCD an obvious choice to further my studies. I completed my master’s program in 2019. The program offers best of both, engineering and management worlds. With core engineering modules like Production system analysis to management modules like Marketing management and Business Information Systems. There was a lot of focus on practical and industry-based learning, with case studies and business simulations. The modules are delivered by faculty from the UCD College of Engineering and Architecture, UCD School of Business and leading industry practitioners. I strongly recommend students to consider this masters in engineering management as an academic option"
