This masters merges manufacturing technical and technological aspects with innovation and entrepreneurship teaching, in the context of the global societal challenges, such as circular economy, industrial innovation and sustainability. It is a double degree programme, coordinated by EIT Manufacturing Master School, between UCD and other universities around Europe i.e. Aalto University, Finland, Ecole Centrale de Nantes (ECN), France, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Italian Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland, Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (Grenoble INP), France and Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria. The first year is spent at UCD (entry university) and the second year is spent at another (exit) university as listed above. 

 

Students choose one of four majors offered as part of the programme i.e.

• Additive Manufacturing for Full Flexibility
• Zero-Defect Manufacturing for a Circular Economy
• Digital Manufacturing for Innovative Eco-systems
• Data Science and AI for Competitive Manufacturing

 

The Platforms for Digital Manufacturing for Innovative Eco-systems programme is a combination of studying manufacturing science including the usage and adoption of advanced digital solutions and platforms. During the programme, students will gain new skills in these areas. In Digital Manufacturing for Innovative Eco-systems, relevant fields include modelling and simulation, virtual prototyping, system engineering, industrial processes and operations. Students learn the latest theoretical knowledge and know how to apply their skills in practical real-life problems. Typical application areas of Digital Manufacturing for Innovative Eco-systems: Cyber-physical systems (CPS), Information system management, digital monitoring.
