Course Overview





Why choose Energy Systems Engineering?

  • Energy Systems Engineers are the people who are transforming the way we use, store and produce energy, meeting the world’s growing energy needs while avoiding climate and biodiversity breakdown, and increasing our energy security.
  • Energy Systems Engineers can be found in companies that design and build giant wind turbines, in the control room of our power grid, rolling out electric vehicle infrastructure, deploying green hydrogen infrastructure and designing zero-carbon buildings
  • A recent survey shows that 94% Energy Systems Engineering graduates are in full-time employment or study less than six months after graduation




  • Work placement

    All Energy Systems Engineering students undertake a work placement for eight months. Energy Systems Engineering employers include ESB, SSE, Thermo King, DP Energy, Wood, EirGrid, Shell, Medtronic, CIÉ, Medtronic, Fingleton White, and Boston Scientific. In the unlikely event that no external placement is available, students will be given projects on campus. We also provide opportunities for students to pursue international work placements. Many of our students have completed their work placement overseas, in places like the UK, the USA, Germany, South America and Australia.





    Study Abroad

    Energy Systems Engineering students have created strong and growing links with the Institute for Solar Energy in Germany and the University of Copenhagen Green Campus. We are developing teaching links with partner universities across Europe for Erasmus exchanges.





    Career Opportunities

    Energy Systems Engineering graduates are ideally suited for careers in power generation and transmission, smart grid design and roll-out, green hydrogen, energy supply management, design of energy-efficient products and processes, sustainable transformation of organisations, communities and businesses, development and roll-out of renewable fuels and infrastructure, design of sustainable transport, environmental protection, and research. They are employed at some of the world’s leading companies including ESB, EM3, Toyota, Gas Networks Ireland, EirGrid, Accenture, Kingspan, Carbon Trust, SSE, Deutsche Bahn, and General Electric.
