Hide-How To Apply
Applications to most postgraduate programmes at University of Galway are made online via www.universityofgalway.ie/apply The application system will be open from 1 October 2022 to accept applications for entry to the 2023–24 academic year. Applications are submitted via an online form, and a step-by-step guide will assist you through the process.
An application fee will be required, and this is non-refundable. You will require an active email
account to use the system.
Application Fee
An application fee of €35 is payable upon making an application and is non-refundable. Upon completing an application for a course, applicants are provided with a discount code to apply for a second course at no extra charge. Therefore the €35 fee will facilitate up to two course applications.
Supporting Documents
When making an online application, most programmes require additional documentation to supplement your application, such as an essay, samples of work, a CV, etc. To see what supporting documents, if any, may be required for your programme, please visit: www.nuigalway.ie/postgrad-admissions
After submitting an application you must then upload the supporting documents.
Your application will not be put forward for review until all the supporting documents have been uploaded and your application status (on your online account) changes to ‘Marked Complete’.
Other Application Routes
A small number of courses have an alternative application system. These alternate routes will be clearly listed on the relevant programme page in this prospectus and in the online course listing at www.universityofgalway.ie/courses
When Should I Apply?
Applications are open for entry in 2023 on 1 October 2022. Please note that NUI Galway does not set a deadline for receipt of applications (with some exceptions). Course quotas will be reviewed at specified times during the application cycle. As many courses fill up quickly, you are advised to apply early. Programmes which reach their quota before these review dates will not accept new applications. You are advised therefore to apply early to avoid disappointment.
Offers will be issued on a continuous basis, with the exception of applications for some programmes which are reviewed after the specified closing date. NUI Galway aims to review applications within ten working days of receiving a complete application, however application reviews for some programmes may take longer. Upon review of the application, applicants will receive an update on the decision (normally within three weeks of submitting an application). Candidates who do not have their final degree marks available may be made a conditional (provisional) offer. Applications will continue to be reviewed in the summer months if there are still programme places available.

Hide-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.
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).
3 GOOD REASONS TO STUDY THIS COURSE
1. AI is a topic of enormous interest and relevance to all aspects of work and society.
2. There is a global shortage of talent and expertise in AI, data analytics and data science.
3. This part-time MSc is taught online.
