Program Outline
Outline:
- The program runs over 2 years with 5 teaching semesters and 1 research project semester, including the Certificate in Artificial Intelligence in semester 1.
- Aimed at existing information technology professionals and those migrating from associated disciplines with the necessary computing and mathematics competencies, this program will provide participants with robust knowledge and skills in the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
- Certificate in Artificial Intelligence
- Participants must complete the preparatory Certificate in Artificial Intelligence to the equivalent of a 2nd class honours level to be eligible for entry to the Masters, regardless of their prior qualifications or experience. Successful completion of the preparatory Course will lead to the award of a Certificate in Artificial Intelligence by UL (Special Purpose Award, Level 8, 12 ECT credits). The 12 credits gained by completing the two Certificate modules will count towards the 90 credits of the MSc in Artificial Intelligence.
- Delivery
- One distinguishing quality of this programme is that each and every module delivered on this programme was designed specifically for this programme. As a result, all modules are structured around a number of so-called E-tivities. These allow you to explore relevant subjects in a self-driven manner, with expert support from module leaders and moderators who guide students in smaller groups. This type of learning has been demonstrated to be an extremely efficient method of learning.
- The programme is delivered primarily via on-line lectures, supported with tutorials and assignments. Assessment is largely based on assignments and project work with a practical rather than theoretical focus.
- Modules will be delivered with associated assessment of mastery so that semester by semester there is a confirmed and measurable achievement of learning objectives that can be transferred directly and immediately to the workplace.
- Expected study time is 15-20 hours per week/module.
- A major dissertation project will be selected and specified within the first year and completed throughout the second year.
