Trinity College Dublin the University of Dublin

The School of Engineering is comprised of the Disciplines of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Electronic and Electrical Engineering and Mechanical, Manufacturing and Biomedical Engineering. Postgraduate activities within the School range from part and full-time Masters and Diploma courses to advanced research programmes usually leading to the award of Doctor in Philosophy (Ph.D.).The School of Engineering has an international reputation for its research activities and currently has an annual research income in excess of €6 million. This serves to support both graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who work in a stimulating environment with modern facilities and equipment. Suitably qualified candidates can apply for registration as graduate students working in the research areas outlined below and research funding often provides scholarships for research Masters and Doctoral students, to cover the registration, course fees and living costs of research students. Currently, there are over 330 postgraduate students and a significant number of postdoctoral fellows and research associates, many of whom are from other European and non-European countries. The School has an international research reputation in many topics, including water engineering, structural materials, behaviour and control, digital media processing, communications engineering, computational engineering, energy, vibrations and acoustics, fluids, fatigue, manufacturing technology, biomedical engineering, transport modelling, geophysical flows, climate change and geotechnical testing. The research-led school includes internationally renowned experts in their fields. Most of its research is funded through collaborative projects involving industry, the EU and national government programmes.
