Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at University College Cork offers a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE). This program is designed for technically-minded students with strong academic ability, an aptitude for problem-solving, and a curiosity about how technology works.

Admission Criteria

Admissions to EEE is based on completion of Secondary (High) School at an international standard with subjects such as mathematics, advanced mathematics (calculus), physics, chemistry, to name a few. The specific admission criteria are as follows:

• Ireland: Completion of the Leaving Certificate with a minimum grade of C in Honours Maths and a C in another Honours science subject. The preferred subjects are Maths, Advanced Maths, and Physics.
• UK/British System: Completion of the Advanced (A-Level) Certificate with for example three principal subjects, e.g., Maths, Advanced Maths, Physics.
• USA: Completion of 12 grades of American high school with for example three principal subjects such as Math, Advanced Math (Calculus), Physics. Strengthen your case and provide us with your USA Standard Test Scores like for General SAT, Subject Math 1/Math 2, Physics SATs, and AP Subject Test Scores.
• International Baccalaureate (IB) System: Completion of the IB Certificate with for example three principal subjects, e.g., Maths, Advanced Math, Physics.
• Other Countries/Systems: Completion of the Local High School Certificate with for example three principal subjects, e.g., Maths, Advanced Math, Physics.

Transfer Students

The Department generally requires the student transferring in to meet the normal entry requirements as if they were joining the first year directly from the Irish Leaving Certificate (or equivalent), including having a C in honours maths (for Irish Leaving Certificate), a laboratory science subject, and the required points (for Irish Leaving Certificate). The full list of entry requirements can be seen at the UCC admissions website. The Department would then look at the subjects taken by the applicant in first year and determine if they were compatible with joining our second year the assumption being that the student would sit the first year exams at the present institution and pass them all.

Program Overview

The Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a stimulating and highly rewarding program that equips students with the skills to shape the future in areas such as energy, communications, computers, and biomedical engineering. Students who graduate from this program can look forward to a wide range of career opportunities, including starting their own technology-based high-tech company or joining the management ranks of global multinationals.
