Engineering Mechanical
The Master’s in Mechanical Engineering (ME) (60 ECTS Level
9) course follows on from the four-year undergraduate BE
programme in Mechanical Engineering, providing students
with the opportunity to experience and complete advanced
mechanical engineering education and research within the
framework of the academic and professional requirements for
Chartered Engineer status, recognised globally through the
Washington Accord. This course combines advanced taught
modules and transferable skills modules with a significant
research and development project (Semesters 1 and 2). This
development project, which is the capstone of the ME, is
conducted in collaboration with an engineering research or
industry partner and is aligned with active research themes.
Social Work
This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be
registered as a social worker by the CORU registration body. It
provides both university and practice-based learning to students,
offering opportunities to learn about social problems and their
causes, as well as policy solutions. It also equips students with
skills in working with individuals, groups and communities,
putting an emphasis on the promotion of human rights and
social justice. Students complete two practice placements as
well as a range of modules, such as Theory and Social Work;
Social Work Practice, Law and Human Rights; Social Policy,
Mental Health and Health Promotion; Support and Protection
across the Lifecourse; and Crime Reduction and Probation Work.
Engineering Civil
The 60 ECTS ME in Civil Engineering is a broad, design-focused,
Level 9 programme tailored to meet both the educational
requirements for progression to Chartered Engineer status and
the diverse needs of a progressive, modern civil engineering
practice. Students will strengthen their core knowledge with
modules on a range of advanced civil engineering topics, while
improving their versatility and leadership potential as engineers
through transferrable skills and personal development modules.
The integrated-design team project is a unique feature of the
programme; students take on a real-world design challenge
with support from practising engineers. Research experience
is gained through a minor thesis, with access to laboratory
facilities in the award-winning Engineering Building, Ireland’s
largest engineering education facility.
Old & Middle Irish
The MA in Old and Middle Irish is designed to provide students
with a thorough grounding in the Irish language and literature of
the period c. 600–c. 1200. It is aimed at those who already have
a good basic knowledge of Irish (medieval or modern) or another
Celtic language and, in exceptional circumstances, at those who
have an appropriate other background to undertake the study of
Old and Middle Irish from the beginning.
The programme offers taught modules in the following:
• Grammar of Old and Middle Irish;
• Literary History 600–1200;
• Close Reading of Medieval Irish Texts;
• History, Scholarship and Culture in Medieval Ireland;
• Comparative Celtic Linguistics.
Playwriting & Dramaturgy
The MA in Playwriting and Dramaturgy cultivates the growth of the
individual writer through an intensive one-year immersion in an
ensemble-based learning environment.
All students take modules on playwriting and other forms of
theatre practice in which they also have the opportunity to
specialise further, based on their own skills and interests. They
will cultivate their skills as writers of dramatic texts (playwriting),
and also increase their knowledge of a wide range of theatrical
structures and forms (dramaturgy) to expand their range as artists.
Writers on this programme will hone their craft through intensive
mentorship and a rigorous programme of modules, workshops
and theatre trips that places their individual work in the context of
the contemporary theatre industry and the history of theatre craft.
The programme concludes with a playwriting dissertation and
features a public reading of the student’s new work at the Centre
for Drama, Theatre and Performance.
Politics and Sociology
This programme comprises core taught modules in Politics
and Sociology and a thesis of up to 20,000 words which will
be supervised by a member of the school’s academic staff,
providing one-to-one support and expertise in the student’s
chosen field of enquiry.
All students take core modules in Political Theory, Social Theory,
and Research Methods, and also select from a list of optional
modules.
Psychology —Full
Psychology is the study of behaviour
and mental processes and includes
individual and social, human and
nonhuman, normal and abnormal
aspects of these.
• Completing this course will enable a
graduate to pursue further training to

fields, the MA provides the skills crucial for those who wish to
work in organizations that seek to shift attitudes and initiate
change, including those working in community organisations,
international relations, development, labour, rights, health and
the environment.
