Advance your career with our QQI Level 6 Certificate in Employment Law! This course is designed to provide you with a deep understanding of employment law principles and their application within the Irish legal system, influenced by European law. This course is suitable for those who work in HR, line managers and company owners.

The BSc Hons Energy at Ulster University explores renewable energy technologies and the application of science and technology to find innovative solutions to real-world energy problems.

You will study a number of themes throughout the programme and gain an in-depth knowledge of conventional and renewable energy systems including wind, bio-energy, solar, tidal and wave, heat pumps, smart grids, fuel cells and energy storage technologies. As an expert in energy you will be able to design, specify and monitor their performance and ensure their economic and environmental benefits for different scenarios and locations around the world.

You will also develop the intellectual skills required to understand new theories, concepts and methods in unfamiliar situations and adapt them to meet future challenges.

Energy Engineering is a broad field dealing with energy efficiency, energy product design and services, facility management, plant engineering, environmental compliance, and alternative energy technologies.The main job of an Energy Engineer is to find the most efficient and sustainable way to power our homes, businesses and industrial processes. This discipline is one of the most recent to emerge, driven by exciting new opportunities: to generate, distribute and store energy. To deliver energy efficiency using smart devices and to monitor energy use, and energy services.

This course prepares you with the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering, hands-on labs in our state-of-the-art facilities, energy-focused classes on topics like zero carbon energy systems, fuels and hydrogen, zero energy buildings, smart grids, and more.

Engineering is about being creative in technical problem solving. Engineers make things possible by using mathematical and scientific principles together with analytical and design skills. They tackle existing problems by developing new solutions through innovative technologies.

They also expand the frontiers of society by developing advanced materials, sustainable energy systems, construction technologies, transport systems, biomedical devices, and telecommunications infrastructure.

As a UCC Engineering BE (Hons) student you will follow a common first-year programme that provides a broad education in the fundamentals of engineering.

This programme would be of interest to learners who are considering engineering employment options or pursuing a degree or an apprenticeship in the engineering field. This programme covers workshop practices, including working with lathes, milling machines and welders. The programme also covers engineering drawing and 3D design and printing techniques. Upon completion of this programme, learners will have gained a theoretical understanding of, and acquired practical competencies in engineering skills. In addition, learners will develop good work practices including adherence to health and safety regulations.
