Apprenticeship
Practical education has been a hallmark of the way that engineering is taught within the University since its founding. TU Dublin is proud to educate approximately one-third of all the apprentice students in the country.The School of Mechanical Engineering is proud to offer a wide selection of apprenticeship study options from our Bolton Street and Blanchardstown campus locations.
Whilst TU Dublin are significantly involved in the educational aspect of apprenticeship, we do not administer the scheme and therefore potential students cannot apply directly to TU Dublin for an apprenticeship.
If you are interested in taking up an apprenticeship you will need to find a suitable employer to take you on.
Each Apprenticeship programme listed below includes a link to the individual 'Study At TU Dublin' page, where more information can be found.
