If you mean for an engineering degree in university, then it varies a bit from one institution to another, but they’ll all normally have some minimum maths requirement and probably one science subject. Most level 8 engineering programmes require Leaving Cert honours maths to get in, but there are ways to get around that if you’re doing ordinary level. Here in TU Dublin, you can begin on a 3-year level 7 degree (you only need ordinary maths to get in) and then transfer to level 8 when you graduate. It takes a little longer, but works really well for those who do it. Another option we provide for students who don’t meet the honours maths requirement is that we offer a separate maths test during the summer (after the Leaving Cert) – this provides an extra route in the level 8 engineering degree.

Well I think basic courses would be maths, computer sciences and physics. But when you come to work in any field you will see that every little skill you learn can make the difference in the way you learn and apply your knowledge as an engineer. It is also important to develop “soft skills” as team work, communication, etc.

For sure Math and Physics, but I am also a fan of Philosophy. I don’t really love it but I think it is important for learning to think better and it is something definitely needed for engineering solutions.

For most undergraduate engineering courses, the minimum requirement is a C or higher in maths, along with one science subject.
A lot of courses now offer maths courses for those who don’t meet the minimum requirement.
