Entry Requirements
Applicants must hold an NFQ level 7 or NFQ level 8 award in computing. The University’s policy in relation to recognition of prior learning (RPL) also applies. Applicants may also be required to attend for interview.
All applicants are required to have a high level of proficiency in English to fully participate in the programme, applicants who have concerns in this regard should contact parttimekerry@mtu.ie to discuss.
What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
Careers / Further progression

The Certificate in Artificial Intelligence is aimed at graduates from other computing programmes to provide a foundation in artificial intelligence for those who have not previously studied in this area. This programme builds and strengthens skills in the fields of artificial intelligence and in data analytics. Learners are introduced to the principles and techniques of artificial intelligence; how these concepts are implemented; how third-party applications allow definition and production of an AI product, and the deployment of this product to a problem- solving application. They gain the knowledge and skills to analyse large volumes of data and information to extract true patterns.
This programme will enable learners to implement artificial intelligence solutions from first principles i.e. using only standard programming language, to recognise the theory and practice of AI techniques within third party software, to critically evaluate performance/reliability of various AI products, to deploy an appropriate AI product to a problem- solving application and to demonstrate knowledge of how the analytics lifecycle can be applied to various application areas/industries. Learners will also learn how to employ data analysis and modelling using software tools, to apply advanced analytics and statistical modelling for Big Data and to acquire the skills required to successfully communicate the result of analysis.
