Our take
Aimed at graduates with a STEM or business degree and three years' experience who want to apply AI in a business setting. The mix of intelligent agents, process automation and data governance is broader than most business-focused awards, taught two evenings a week. The catch: the Springboard+ intake for September 2026 is closed, so for now it's the €7,000 fee-paying route until the next €700 Springboard+ round is announced. Also consider Postgraduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence for Professionals from University of Galway.
