Programme Description

This 1-year programme provides a general access route to engineering programmes for those who have not decided which engineering discipline they would like to study. The general target group are students who have the desire and the capacity to become engineers but may not have decided which area of engineering is for them.

On successful completion of the programme, students will have the mathematical and scientific basis to successfully enter the second year of seven different Level 7 discipline-specific programmes. In addition, in a limited number of cases, some students with proven ability may be permitted to progress to the first year of the Level 8 Bachelor of Engineering honours degree programme at DIT.

This course will suit students who have an interest in technology and in solving problems in the engineering world.

Students are assessed by a combination of examinations at the end of each semester and continuous assessment projects.

Duration

Three or five years depending on your 2^nd year programme choice.
