NEW Masters (ME) Programmes for 2013/14

The College of Engineering and Informatics is pleased to offer one year taught masters (ME) programmes in Engineering. These are full-time programmes being offered for the first time in 2013, and have a weighting of 60 ECTS.

The programmes are at level 9 in the Irish qualifications system and have been designed to meet the educational requirements necessary for progression to Chartered Engineer with Engineers Ireland. Accreditation for the programmes will be sought after the first cohort of graduates emerge from the programmes.

The ME is being offered in the following areas:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Energy Systems Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical & Electronic Engineering
• Computer Science & Information Technology

• For more information on each programme and to view the syllabus, please click on the links above.

WELCOME TO THE college OF ENGINEERING and informatics

Welcome to the College of Engineering and Informatics website, a College that has a long and proud tradition at NUI, Galway and has been part of the curriculum since the University first opened its doors as Queen's College Galway in 1849. Today, the College consists of five disciplines; Civil Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.

The expansion and diversification of the College has been considerable in recent years with a range of programmes both in Engineering and Information Technology. Eight primary undergraduate BE programmes are now offered across the College encompassing a wide variety of engineering disciplines.

Student numbers have grown from 30 in 1970 to an intake in excess of 242 in 2006. Despite the increased numbers, I am delighted to say that the quality has also improved and we have one of the highest engineering entry standards among all Irish universities.

While the majority of entrants to the undergraduate programmes are direct entrants through the CAO system, the College is also committed to alternative modes of entry. In particular, I refer to the transfer scheme for graduates of the Institutes of Technology and the mature student route such as via a special Access course.

The College, through its recent strategic planning process, recently reaffirmed its strong commitment to research. All disciplines have been recognised nationally and internationally for their leading edge research. Much of this work has already achieved a degree of scale with the creation of well funded research groups within the various disciplines. Members of the College have also been active participants in some of the highly successful larger University-wide research initiatives such as the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science and the Environmental Change Institute. As our research programmes continue to expand, there are now excellent opportunities across all sectors of the College for creative and talented researchers at post-graduate and post-doctoral levels.

NUI Galway’s new Engineering Building is the largest School of Engineering & Informatics in the country at 14,200 square metres, housing 110 staff and approximately 1,100 students.

Located to the north of the campus, and built to the most modern design, the building is equipped with the latest facilities, providing a working example for engineering students to study.

The four storey building located beside the river Corrib houses up to date lecture theatres, classrooms, research facilities and break out spaces where students can collaborate on projects and discuss the latest cutting edge developments in Engineering that they see around them, as well as laboratories which allow students and researchers to build prototypes for testing and evaluation.
