- Duration
- 2 years, part-time, blended. The delivery of the programme will be through scheduled Bootcamps and Workshops, and online through the Institutes Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle), and is assessed through project work and completion of the Applied Research Dissertation. On-campus Time: The structured elements require attendance in-person of up to 24 days over the two years structured into four Bootcamps (4 days, Wed-Sat) and four Workshops (2 days – Fri-Sat). The in-person bootcamps and workshops promote peer-to-peer exchange of knowledge and build the Learners’ professional network. Regular online tutorials will ensure continuous contact with the academic staff. The learner effort over the two years is estimated at approximately 15% of their working commitment, thus strong employer and management support for the learner is vital, as is the relevance and potential value of the Applied Research Project to the host enterprise.

The Masters in Digitalisation of Manufacturing is a practice-based professional award for experienced employees in all sectors of manufacturing.
Entry requirements
The programme is aimed at existing manufacturing, mechanical or engineering professionals, and those migrating from associated disciplines. The principal entry requirement for the Masters programme is a Level 8 honours degree, at minimum second class honours (NFQ or other internationally recognised equivalent), in a relevant scientific, engineering, computing, or technology discipline. Applicants from other Level 8 degree disciplines who have a minimum of five years experiential learning in an appropriate manufacturing environment (with a demonstrable knowledge of mathematics and computing) may also apply. Their admission to the program will be determined by the Technological University Shannon (TUS) Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Process. A deep knowledge of manufacturing environments and the potential benefits and challenges facing manufacturing from digitalisation would be beneficial.
