Course content

Unlock your path to a Master's in Electronic & Computer Engineering with our specialised Access Course. This flexible program, available full-time or part-time, is designed for those who need to build a stronger foundation before advancing to the Master’s level.

This specialised course serves as a transformative pathway to bridge the gap between a student's current knowledge base and the essential expertise required to study the Electronic & Computer Engineering Master’s programme.

Students who do not have the entry requirements to enter directly onto the Master’s programme may be offered entry via this route. It is ideally suited to students who have an NFQ Level 8 qualification below H2.2 equivalent or an NFQ Level 7 qualification, with a minimum of three years relevant experience in Electronic Engineering or a cognate discipline.

It contains the same modules as our Master’s Degree and students may transfer onto the Master’s programme, subject to the transfer requirements and without loss of accumulated credits. A Graduate Certificate exit award is potentially available if a transfer to the Master’s Programme is not possible or desirable; however, a minimum of 4 advanced (Level 9) modules must be successfully completed in order to exit with a Graduate Certificate.
