Entry Requirements
The programme has been designed to fill a gap that exists within the industrial and systems engineering sector.
Stage 1 – will be open to applicants (mature students) who are 23 or over and who are working in the sector.
Stage 2 – those who have successfully completed 1st year of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers programme may be eligible to apply for RPL entry directly into stage 2.
Stage 3 – candidates holding a level 6 engineering or cognate qualification may be eligible to apply for RPL entry directly into stage 3
Stage 4 – candidates holding a level 7 engineering or cognate qualification may be eligible to apply for RPL entry directly into stage 4.
Careers / Further progression
Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Industrial Engineering can pursue careers as industrial engineers, process improvement specialists and operations managers, focusing on enhancing efficiency and productivity across various industry sectors.
Graduates from the Level 6 programme can progress onto manufacturing engineering type programmes and can apply to progress onto the following internal department programmes:
Level 7/8 BEng in Mechanical Engineering
Level 7/8 BEng in Robotics & Automated Systems
Level 7/8 BEng in Agricultural Systems Engineering
Graduates from the Level 7 programme can progress onto the Level 8 programmes outlined above and both Level 7 and Level 8 specialist Lifelong learning technical programmes.
Graduates may have some deficits in the form of a module in some of the programmes that can be identified upon application.
Graduates from the Level 8 programme can progress onto various technical masters programmes including:
Level 9 Masters of Science in Engineering Research and Innovation
Level 9 Masters of Engineering in Applied Materials
Graduates from the Level 8 programme with also be encouraged to apply for a research masters or PhD programme with engCORE or equivalent research centres. Graduates from the minor awards can apply to progress to the major awards at the appropriate stage, with exemptions from modules completed.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Industrial Engineering programme prepares learners for industrial engineering roles in industry.
This level 8 programme aims to develop engineers who will have expertise in applying industrial engineering principles within their workplace as well as being best placed to address the changing requirements and opportunities arising in industrial engineering applications.
While graduates are adept in the existing tools of industrial engineering upon completion of the programme, they will also have the understanding and practical experience to be problem solvers using industrial and systems engineering principles in the workplace.
Learners on this programme who have successfully achieved the required learning outcomes and have accumulated the required credits may apply for Embedded Awards as follows:
Completion of Stage 1 and 2 – Higher Certificate in Engineering in Industrial Engineering.
Completion of Stage 1, 2 and 3 – Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering
In addition, there are also five Minor Awards at NFQ levels 6, 7 and 8 as follows:
Certificate in Industrial Engineering and Lean Principles (Level 6, 20 ECTS).
Certificate in Project Management and Lean Applications (Level 6, 20 ECTS).
Certificate in Advanced Industrial Principles with Quality and Lean Systems (Level 7, 20 ECTS).
Certificate in Material and Operations Management for Supply Chain (Level 7, 20 ECTS).
Certificate in Digitalisation and Advanced Lean Applications (Level 8, 20 ECTS).
Extended Campus
Extended Campus (EC) at SETU Carlow works with organisations in the design, development and validation of customised programmes relevant to industry and employer needs. Programmes are often designed to bridge a gap that currently exists and or to support the future needs of an organisation and are offered through flexibly delivered timetables that fits into work life and avoiding long commutes to and from the classroom.
Relevant curricula give organisations the opportunity to stay competitive and current in the changing workplace with industry-focused programmes that deliver job-ready skills. All programmes are delivered by experienced industry experts. Students who have relevant learning (formal or informal) may make application under recognition of prior learning (RPL) for advanced entry or exemptions on certain programmes.
