Your chosen area of specialization in second year will also offer a route to Process and Chemical Engineering at Masters (ME) level. 

Careers Information

Over the past several years all our graduates have gained employment within six to nine months after graduating, according to the Careers Service First Destination Report.

The degree is internationally accredited by both the Institution of Chemical Engineers and Engineers Ireland. Graduates are well equipped to work in transdisciplinary teams, across a wide range of industry and business sectors and on a global basis.
