B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering

About the course

A seven-semester, English-taught B.Eng. (210 ECTS) that starts with engineering fundamentals, applied maths, design and materials, then focuses on drive technology and automation, machine design, product development and robotics. It includes a 24-credit industrial internship in semester 4 and a thesis, and is taught in five-week blocks under SRH’s CORE method.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• German rules say the Leaving Certificate gives direct university entry only with the right subjects and levels. You need six subjects, including two languages and Maths. At least two subjects must be at Higher Level at H5 or better, and the other four at O6/H6 or better. For engineering you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. SRH publishes no Irish-specific rules, so confirm with admissions.
• SRH says there is no numerus clausus. You apply online and are then normally invited to an admissions interview; SRH says some programmes use a video recording or direct acceptance instead.
• SRH asks for proof of English through tests such as TOEFL or IELTS ‘or comparable certificates’, and offers its own SRH English Proficiency Certificate test. Ask admissions whether Leaving Cert English is accepted.
