TU Dublin’s Learn+Work course in Process Instrumentation and Automation provides a pipeline of skilled in-demand work-ready talent into STEM industries through industry partnership.

• The programme blends the strength of a university education with apprenticeship-style work placements. This course is designed specifically to create work-ready university graduates in the shortest possible time-frame.
• Each year, students divide their time between full time study blocks in the university and significant periods of paid work placement with industry partners.

Process Instrumentation & Automation involves the measurement and control of physical quantities (temperature, level, pressure, flow and many others) used in advanced manufacturing systems. Engineers use instrumentation and control to monitor and maintain processes for improved production, quality, and safety in manufacturing facilities in the Pharmaceutical, Food & Drinks, Water/Wastewater, Oil & Gas industries among others.
