Your Course 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: smart cities, precision agriculture, optimised transport, self-driving cars, automated healthcare, product recommendation, games, and artificial creativity. This programme is aligned to the research expertise of the School of Computer Science and Data Science Institute, including international research leaders in the areas of Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Metaheuristic Optimisation, Artificial Creativity, and more. 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 not required to attend classes on campus, but on-campus end-of-semester exams are used. Students also have the opportunity to choose from several optional online modules on offer from our partner in this programme, Dublin City University (DCU). Career Opportunities This innovative online MSc will equip the student with state-of-the- art knowledge and practical skills that are increasingly sought after in industry today.
