The Polymer & Mechanical Engineering (Add-on) – BEng (Hons) at Technological University of The Shannon is designed for graduates seeking to deepen their expertise in the critical intersection of polymer science and mechanical engineering. This programme addresses the growing demand for professionals skilled in advanced materials and their application in product design, manufacturing, and regulatory compliance, particularly within sectors like pharmaceutical and medical devices. You will explore computational engines, advanced polymer materials, and sophisticated design techniques, preparing you to tackle complex engineering challenges. This honours degree offers a rigorous academic foundation alongside real-world relevance from day one.
This full-time, on-campus add-on degree is studied over one year, building directly upon your Level 7 qualifications. Your learning journey will involve in-depth modules such as Computer Aided Engineering Design & Analysis, Advanced Polymer Engineering, and Operations Management & Sustainability, alongside a significant year-long Final Year Project. This project offers you the opportunity to conduct independent research and apply your integrated knowledge to a relevant industrial-based engineering challenge. You will graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (honours) degree, equipped with practical skills and a comprehensive understanding of polymer and mechanical engineering principles, ready for diverse professional pathways.
