The flexible Higher Certificate in Electronic Engineering enables prospective students to progress to a Level 6 National Certificate in Electronic Engineering in a timeframe approximating to current full time delivery, but with significantly higher levels of participative flexibility, depending on their circumstances and capabilities. Classes occur in both evening and day time mode.

In a world where electrical and electronic engineering empowers the way we live, and is inextricably linked to almost everything we do, where does Electronic Engineering (FLASHE) fit? This video offers some context…

If you are under 23 years old on 1 January you must have achieved Grade D3 in five Leaving Certificate subjects, including Mathematics and English or Irish or a FETAC Level 5 qualification or equivalent unless otherwise stated. That is 5 subjects: O6/H7, English or Irish: O6/H7 and Mathematics: O5/H7, or better to apply for year one of this programme. A mature student must be over 23 years on 1st January of year of application.

  • All applicants must have competence in spoken and written English.
  • Eligible candidates may be interviewed.

This accredited engineering qualification will lead to employment in the many companies operating in high technology industries. It is the first step in attaining a degree in Electronic Engineering from TU Dublin.

The course involves a mix of classroom and laboratory sessions supported by self-directed reading and research on specific topics. Modules include Analogue and Digital Design, Programming, Computer Networks and Radio Systems. A major project is also completed.

There are two classes per week where attendance is mandatory Monday – Thursday 6pm-10pm
There is also a voluntary night which takes place on Wednesdays from 6pm-9pm

During the academic term, a small number of Saturday laboratory sessions may be required from 9am-1pm.

Applications will open for the next term in February 2026. To register your interest in part-time undergraduate courses in advance of the launch, please click here and submit your details. We will contact you once applications are open.
