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.
Designed around five core themes, the programme addresses the principle engineering management challenges involved in the design, operations and management of international technology companies.
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.

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.

Graduate Profile
Tarek Naffah
I’m from Lebanon and the reason why I chose Ireland and specifically Dublin is because it is such a vibrant place. I then chose UCD because of its reputation and its wide range of programme choices. UCD focuses on its students and provides a wide range of extracurricular activities as part of the student life.
I am learning a lot from this programme. There are modules such as supply chain management, marketing management and project management etc. I am able to learn not just theoretically, but also have hands-on experiences through simulations and projects that the programme provides us during the year. In terms of career prospects, if you join the programme you will have the chance to go into different fields within the business area such as management and supply chain. UCD also organizes many career fairs where you get to meet the companies you want to work with in Dublin or in Ireland and even companies around the world.
