Course Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been at the forefront of computer science research for over 50 years. In recent years a confluence of breakthroughs in hardware capability and insights into algorithm design have made the early promise of intelligent machines a reality. AI is one of the fastest growing areas of ICT industry and research. It has the potential to positively transform every aspect of all our lives, from smart cities and autonomous vehicles, through to improved   healthcare services and low-carbon economies.

This is a distinctive programme taught by an internationally renowned, interdisciplinary team of University of Galway experts in the field, many of whom are researchers at the

Insight Centre for Data Analytics.

Students also have the opportunity to choose from several optional online modules on offer from our partner in this programme

Dublin City University (DCU).

The programme is taught over two years and is delivered completely online using state-of-the-art technologies and techniques to support the virtual classroom. Students are expected to attend classes on campus at most one day per semester.

This is an intensive and technically rigorous programme. The estimated workload is 20 hours per week during the teaching semesters (September–December and January– April). Each semester is 12 weeks plus a study week and exam period.

This course is part-funded by Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet under the Training Networks Programme of Skillnet Ireland and by member companies. Skillnet Ireland is funded from the National Training Fund through the Department of Education and Skills. For further information see www.ictskillnet.ie
