I chose this course because during the first year of common engineering, the modules linked to it interested me the most. From the very beginning, I found myself drawn to the fascinating intersection of engineering and healthcare. The potential to apply engineering principles to solve real-world medical challenges intrigued me deeply. 

Upon reflection, I can confidently say that the course surpassed my expectations. The course’s comprehensive curriculum provided me with a strong foundation in both engineering principles and biomedical sciences. The hands-on laboratory sessions allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, making my learning experience exceptionally enriching. Collaborating with fellow students on challenging projects and having access to cutting-edge equipment were the highlights of my journey. The professors were supportive, and the practical experience gained through projects was invaluable. 

Among my favourite modules were Advanced Biomaterials & Processing Technology and Design & CAD. These modules offered practical insights into designing medical devices and equipped me with essential computer-aided design skills. The impact of this course on my career has been substantial. I have gained a competitive edge in the job market, and the INTRA programme has allowed me to apply my knowledge to real-world problems. To future students considering this course, my advice is simple: embrace the challenge. Stay curious, ask questions, and push your boundaries. The MEng in Biomedical Engineering at DCU is a transformative journey that will undoubtedly open doors to a fulfilling and impactful career in healthcare technology.
