Course Overview

The PgCert in Artificial Intelligence for Professionals is targeted at learners who would benefit professionally from gaining a high-level understanding of the field of artificial intelligence (AI). This programme is suitable for those who currently work with AI, or for those who plan to work with AI in the future. The PgCert is also suitable for those who would like to explore the possibilities of how AI might be applied to their own industry sector.

This programme focuses on the strategic and practical aspects of AI applications, rather the low-level details of how particular AI algorithms are implemented.  Therefore, learners are not required to have a background in computer science, or to learn programming or advanced mathematics to succeed in this programme. Candidates will learn about the main AI techniques and what they can be used for, data and skills requirements for AI projects, case studies of AI systems, as well as the ethical and legal implications of AI applications for business and society.

This 9-month part-time programme is delivered entirely online, so there is no need for students to attend the University of Galway campus. As the programme is fully remote, applications from candidates based outside the Republic of Ireland are welcome.
