Artificial Intelligence

Key programme benefits to future students

This 14-week course aims to equip students for the masters programme in AI. Participants who complete the 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.

Modules Modules

• Introduction To Scientific Computing For AI: An introduction to the core mathematics and core programming skills required in machine learning. Using a number of E-tivities you will hone your Python coding skills as well as your knowledge and skills in Calculus, Linear Algebra and Probability Theory as the three core areas of mathematics that underpin machine learning.

• Introduction To Deep Learning And Frameworks: A sneak preview of the exciting possibilities that modern machine learning offers, introducing you to the core methods used in machine learning and state-of-the-art networks, such as Convolutional Neural Networks.

Cat 1: Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree (NFQ Level 8) with at least a second-class honour, grade 2 (2:2) in a relevant engineering, computing, mathematics, science or technology discipline.



Cat 2: You may also hold a bachelor’s degree (NFQ Level 8) with at least a second-class honour, grade 2 (2:2) in a discipline with a significant mathematics and computing element.



Cat 3: You may also hold a bachelor’s degree (NFQ Level 8) with at least a second-class honour, grade 2 (2:2) in a non-numerate discipline and have a minimum of three years experiential learning in computing.



Cat 4: You may also be considered if you have at least seven years' work experience in a relevant computing or engineering environment and, or are in a senior or supervisory role in a company engaged in activities relevant to the subject matter of the programme.
