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.

Note: as a preparatory programme for the masters, the same entry requirements apply.



Category 1: The principal entry requirement is a Level 8 honours degree, at minimum second class honours (NFQ or other internationally recognised equivalent), in a relevant engineering, computing, mathematics, science or technology discipline.



Category 2: Applicants who possess a Level 8 Honours degree in other disciplines, which have a significant mathematics and computing element, will also be considered.



Category 3: Applicants who possess a Level 8 honours degree at minimum second class honours in a non-numerate discipline and have a minimum of three years experiential learning in an appropriate computing discipline may also be considered. A decision on the suitability and relevance of their experiential learning will be made by the University of Limerick.



Category 4: Applicants who do not meet any of the minimum educational requirements but 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; may be considered under the University of Limerick policy that allows for the Recognition of Prior Learning (both formal and informal/experiential learning), non-accredited personal and professional education; industry-accredited certifications; and work-based training.

14 weeks part-time, online.
