Course Overview
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.

Swati Deshpande | MSc Artificial Intelligence Graduate
NUI Galway is one of the best colleges I have studied in! Teachers are very approachable and friendly. Highlights of my AI program were the depths of modules; in Semester 1, the programme taught the basics of AI along with its practical applications, in Semester 2, we were taught more advanced topics in AI and the course covered a wide range of concepts. Assignments helped us get hands on experience of different tools used currently in the AI industry. In Semester 3 we carried out research on a topic of our interest. Guest talks were organized from different IT companies like Genesys and Qualcomm that gave us an industry perspective to Artificial Intelligence. All these experiences have helped me learn new things in the AI industry and made me a better engineer. The university constantly encourages students to participate in academic as well as non-academic activities. I was part of the International Student’s Gaelic football team which showed me different cultures of Ireland. Galway is such a calm city and the best place to get your studies done. I would not trade this journey for anything in the world.
