Our take
Built for computing graduates (or Level 7 holders with three years' experience) who want a Level 9 qualification in big data and AI. The headline is the price: free under Springboard+ for a 60 ECTS postgraduate diploma, against €4,200 otherwise. The catch: the September 2026 intake has started and for now you can only register interest in the next round. If you want a smaller commitment, compare Machine Learning and AI (Micro-credential) from University College Dublin.
