MECH ENG: Progressing from L7 to L8 degree

Dermighty

Hi all,

I searched the forum and the questions are not quite what I was looking for, hence the new thread.

In 3rd (final) year of Mechanical Engineering level 7 in CIT, wondering if there are options to progress to a level 8 Engineering degree in UCC and if so what year do I move to.

In CIT if progressing to a level 8 Engineering degree (BEng (Honours) Mechanical Engineering or BEng (Hons) Sustainable Energy) you progress to year 3 of those courses, ie: you have both 3rd and 4th year to do to get the honours degree.

The reason I ask is I'd like to keep my options open and I'm unsure as to what options UCC offers, their website details postgraduate opportunites for holders of level 8 degrees, not applicable to level 7 degree holders. I tried ringing UCC but there was no reply.

I'm not able to change to a college outside of Cork city and I would be doing the course full-time by day, as opposed to part-time or by night.

Nobody?

UCC or your own careers office in CIT would be the people to talk to to be honest.

Your guys would know the score so you could drop in or arrange a meeting.

It isn't that big an operation to change colleges and courses.
