MSc (Computer Science—Artificial Intelligence)
Artificial Intelligence is one the most exciting and fastest growing areas of the ICT industry and research. It has the potential to positively transform every aspect of all our lives, from Smart Cities and Autonomous Vehicles, through to improved healthcare services and low-carbon economies. Artificial Intelligence has the capacity to provide intelligent solutions that can help us to tackle many today’s greatest societal challenges.
Become part of this exciting development by joining our one-year MSc in Computer Science—Artificial Intelligence.
This programme is aimed at graduates with a primary qualification in Computer Science or related subject area. It is not a conversion course, but expects students to be already at a very high technical standard with regard to their Computer Science education.
The full-time MSc in Artificial Intelligence is taught by renowned, interdisciplinary University of Galway experts in the field. It covers over two semesters many complementary areas of Artificial Intelligence, including Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Optimisation, and Reinforcement Learning.
Furthermore, students reinforce their newly gained skills in a 30-credit project that is completed during the summer. Here students may have the opportunity to collaborate with a research group or with an industry partner.

Job Opportunity Potential
Career opportunities for Electrical & Electronic Engineers continue to be plentiful and varied. With the ongoing emphasis on energy and efficiency, there is an increasing requirement for graduates in electrical generation, transmission and distribution in companies like ESB and Eirgrid.
Semiconductor manufacturing and design provides another dynamic career path, with many of the world’s leading companies located in Ireland including Intel, Analog Devices, On Semiconductor, Texas Instruments and Microsemi.
Demands for expertise in electrical automation and control are also rising, particularly in the biomedical devices and pharmaceutical sectors, while the ongoing growth in demands for telecommunications provides yet another exciting career option in the development and testing of new devices and infrastructure.
According to the State of Ireland 2017 report by Engineers Ireland, there is currently a huge demand for engineers, and it is expected that job opportunities for Electrical and Electronic Engineers both nationally and internationally will continue to grow in the coming years.
This creates a wide range of job opportunities for our graduates and also leads to higher salaries. The most recent Engineers Ireland Salary Survey shows that Electrical and Electronic Engineers are amongst the highest paid in all of the engineering and technology disciplines. In 2014, the median salary for a Chartered Electrical/Electronic Engineer in Ireland was €73,000. This figure is growing year on year (Source)
