For computing graduates with a 2.1 or higher who want a full AI master's with a real build at the end. The 30 ECTS practicum creating an AI prototype is the standout. Caveats: the EU fee is €7,900 full-time, part-time fees aren't shown, and DCU's pages conflict on whether the AI major runs part-time. January applications close 12 December 2026 or when full. For a funded online alternative, see National MSc in Artificial Intelligence.
