For engineers and computer scientists, comfortable with Python and maths, who want accredited advanced machine learning study in person in Dublin. Its focus on fairness, transparency and explainability alongside deep and reinforcement learning sets it apart. Caveats: €824 as shown with the subsidised fee still TBC, and applications close in December 2026. We've set the advanced level ourselves. If you'd rather study online, consider Machine Learning and AI (Micro-credential) from UCD.
