The postgrad course in circuit design is the first of its kind in Europe, according to Maynooth.
A new master’s degree in circuit design at Maynooth University aims to deliver skilled workers in the semiconductor sector in alignment with the Irish Government’s ‘Silicon Island’ strategy.
The degree programme – designed in collaboration with MIDAS Ireland, an Irish innovation cluster – is the first dedicated course of its kind anywhere in Europe, according to the university and the Government.
The 15-month programme mixes nine months of classroom learning with a full-time, paid placement in industry for students to gain real-world experience.
