Admission Requirements

• Candidates must have a BE (Hons) degree in Electrical and / or Electronic Engineering, or an equivalent engineering qualification, with a minimum of Second Degree Honors I (NFQ, Level 8)
• Candidates from the Grandes Écoles Colleges are also eligible to apply if they are studying a related discipline at an ENSEA or EFREI graduate school and are eligible to enter the final year (M2) of their program.
• Candidates must be approved by the MEngSc (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) course team and / or the MEngSc (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) Program Director.

English requirements

All graduate applicants whose first language is not English must provide evidence of English language proficiency. Certain tests (eg, IELTS, TOEFL, and Pearson PTE) have a three-year time limit on their validity and will apply. English language tests must be taken no more than three years prior to the start of a program.
