This diploma programme is available only to students from partner* Chinese universities, with whom University College Cork signs a bilateral agreement under Statute 263 of the National University of Ireland. Having studied for three years at a partner Chinese university, students will study for one year at University College Cork, taking the diploma programme to the value of 60 credits as outlined below.

To be admitted students will normally be required to:
(a) successfully complete and pass credits equivalent to three full academic years study of their degree programme at a partner Chinese university with whom University College Cork has a bilateral agreement;
(b) satisfy English language proficiency requirements as set out by University College Cork for non-EU students.

*Students from non-partner institutions will be assessed for eligibility for the programme on a case by case basis and will be subject to the approval of the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science.

To be considered for the award of the Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Studies, a student must have satisfactorily attended undergraduate modules to the value of 60 credits as part of a programme of study agreed by the School of Engineering and the partner Chinese university, and subject to timetabling and other constraints.

Between 40 and 60 of these credits should be chosen from undergraduate Electrical and Electronic Engineering modules, which are selected in consultation with and with the approval of the Head of Discipline (Electrical and Electronic) and of the Head of School of Engineering, UCC.

Students wishing to take and Electrical and Electronic Engineering project based module, e.g. EE4050 BE Project (10 credits), require the permission of the Head of Discipline (Electrical and Electronic) and of the Head of School of Engineering, UCC to allow this choice.

Students may take up to 20 credits from other undergraduate modules in other subjects with the approval of the department/school offering the module(s).

Where a module has prerequisites (as specified in the module description), a student must satisfy these prerequisites by demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the School, that a similar module has been passed in the partner Chinese university. The full programme of study is subject to final agreement by the School of Engineering and the partner Chinese university.
