As computers become smarter Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making strides in simulating human thinking. Creating computer systems that automatically improve with experience has many applications including robotic control, data mining, autonomous navigation, and bioinformatics.

This programme targets learner expertise and skills development within this rapidly developing and increasingly strategically important area. The vast accumulation of data and the inability for humankind to process this data unaided has led to an explosion in AI based solutions tailored to process, analyse, classify, and appraise this data.

When you study this programme you will develop the techniques and skills require to make sense of data, to realise patterns and to gain semantic understanding of the data. Data modelling, data presentation and data storage solutions are persistent throughout each module of the course

This programme provides excellent employment opportunities for graduates. Historically there has been a significant shortage of graduates in the ICT area. According to the Forfás Vacancy Overview Report, 35% of all difficult to fill vacancies were for the ICT sector, primarily for professional roles in software development including software developers, database developers (with Oracle/SQL), web, cloud; with skills in Java, JavaScript, C++, and .Net the most frequently mentioned. This MSc in Software Design with Artificial Intelligence will provide these technical competencies.

For those who wish to further their studies graduates of this programme will be eligible to pursue research opportunities at TUS Athlone Campus at PhD level.

The 2024-2025 programme has not yet opened for applications.
