Computer Engineering in Mobile Systems

At Technological University Dublin, the Computer Engineering in Mobile Systems (TU807) programme is designed to ensure you gain real practical experience alongside your academic studies. From early engagement in hands-on labs and electronics work to structured work placements and internships, you’ll develop confidence with the tools, technologies and workflows used in today’s engineering roles. TU Dublin’s approach means you’re not just learning theory in lectures — you are applying it in real settings, building your technical skills and professional habits from the very first year onwards: 

Here’s how your experiential learning is structured on this programme:

• Work Placements & Internships: TU Dublin’s Career Development Centre facilitates work placements where students undertake supervised periods of professional experience, allowing you to apply classroom learning in industry environments and enhance practical skills valued by employers. 

• IMMERSE Start-Up Internships: The university offers paid summer internships through the IMMERSE programme, matching students (especially those in later years) with growing enterprises where you learn directly from entrepreneurs and industry mentors on real projects. 

• Specialist Labs & Technical Workshops: As part of your core engineering modules you’ll work in electronic and computing laboratories using industry-standard hardware and software — from development boards and embedded systems tools to digital logic and networking equipment — giving you direct experience with real tools. 

• Group Projects & Applied Tasks: Throughout your course you’ll engage in project-based work that reflects practical engineering challenges, encouraging teamwork, creative problem-solving and the integration of hardware and software skills. 

• On-Campus Support & Learning Resources: The programme is delivered across modern campuses with computer labs, electronic labs and collaborative spaces where you work with peers and supervisors to build and test real systems as part of your learning experiences.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Computer Engineering in Mobile Systems at Technological University Dublin are prepared to enter a dynamic engineering landscape, stepping confidently into roles such as Software Engineer, Mobile Systems Developer, Embedded Systems Designer or IoT Systems Specialist thanks to a curriculum that blends academic excellence with practical, industry-relevant experience. Because TU Dublin is recognised for its practice-based learning model, students graduate with the skills and experience that employers value most — connecting theoretical knowledge with real-world application: 

Here’s how TU Dublin supports your career success after graduation:

• Dedicated Career Services: The Career Development Centre at TU Dublin helps students and graduates with work placements, career coaching, employer engagement, careers fairs, and job opportunities — giving you structured support from early in your studies through to employment. 

• Strong Employment Outcomes: According to the Higher Education Authority Graduate Outcomes Survey, TU Dublin is ranked Number 1 in Dublin for graduate employability, with around 70–78 % of undergraduate graduates securing full-time employment within nine months of graduation. 

• Industry Partnerships & Exposure: The School of Computer Science at TU Dublin has established links with major ICT companies, including internships and industry-engaged projects that connect students directly with employers during and after their studies. 

• Practice-Focused Learning Model: TU Dublin’s unique blend of academic learning and applied practice — including placements and project work — helps graduates build work-ready skills sought by industry, particularly in software, mobile systems and embedded engineering. 

• Professional Accreditation: The Level 8 honours engineering award is aligned with national and European qualification frameworks, helping graduates pursue professional recognition and meeting the academic benchmarks valued by employers across Europe and beyond. 

• Graduation Outcomes: TU Dublin’s strong ties with local and multinational tech firms, coupled with its emphasis on applied learning, mean many graduates transition quickly into roles across mobile, embedded, software and systems engineering sectors — a testament to the relevance and currency of the programme. 

Further Academic Progression:

After completing your honours degree in Computer Engineering in Mobile Systems, you can choose to pursue postgraduate study or specialised research paths to deepen your expertise. Options include Master’s degrees in computing and engineering disciplines — such as Advanced Software Development, Data Science or Embedded Systems — offered through TU Dublin’s School of Computer Science or other institutions. You could also progress to research degrees (MSc by Research or PhD), particularly if you are interested in advanced areas like Internet of Things, mobile networking, machine learning or cyber-physical systems. These pathways not only broaden your technical depth but also open doors to roles in R&D and academia, building on your strong foundational and applied experience from the bachelor’s programme.
