THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR BIOPROCESSING RESEARCH AND TRAINING (NIBRT) is a global centre of excellence for research in bioprocessing and is purpose built in the UCD campus.
The UCD School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering is home to a €5 Million state-of the-art microscopy laboratory which includes FIB-SEM, a Cryo-TEM and a high end XPS/AES/SIMS facilities.
The UCD School of Materials and Mechanical Engineering has State-Of-The-Art Multimillion Euro laboratories that include Metallography, Materials Testing, Radiography, Stress Analysis, Dynamics and many more facilities.
Studying your Masters in Engineering at UCD, which is variously accredited by Engineers Ireland, The Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3), is highly attractive to students due to the exposure to world-leading researchers and significant career prospects.
Register NowI chose UCD due to the quality of research done in this field and the structure of the ME Biomedical engineering programme. UCD’s emphasis on research plays a key role in ensuring that students are exposed to a high standard of learning. Since completing my course, I have been working with the Health Products Regulatory Authority of Ireland as a scientific officer in the medical devices department.
I was working as an assistant software engineer in India, having obtained my bachelor degree in electronic engineering. During my course at UCD, I was taught with problems that industries currently face, making it incredibly relevant. The course was quite brilliantly structured between hardware (Electronics) and software (Computer Science). Now I work alongside leading researchers for my master’s project.
