Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Sustainable Energy Engineering, Munster Technological University

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Sustainable Energy Engineering at MTU Bishopstown Campus offers students a comprehensive look into various engineering disciplines involved in energy and sustainability. The program features modules taught by staff from diverse fields, including site visits to wind farms, hydroelectric stations, and solar installations. Industry input is incorporated through visiting speakers from companies like GSK, Phillips 66, and others, many of which employ graduates from this course. A key component is a major research project in the final year, often linked to industry work placements that provide real-world relevance. Students undertake a mandatory 10-week work placement at the end of the third year, which can extend up to 6 months, in energy-related industries, government agencies, or research groups. There’s also the option to spend time abroad on a European exchange, adding international exposure.
