€918, duration not stated, advanced (our assessment), NFQ Level 9, 5 ECTS. Next: 18 Jan 2027. Last verified 4 Oct 2026.
For data scientists and developers with a solid statistics and R background who want accredited deep learning study online. It's a 12-week NFQ Level 9 award worth 5 ECTS, and it counts towards UCD's Professional Certificate in Data Science. Caveats: €918 with no subsidy mentioned, one start date (January 2027), and demanding maths prerequisites. The advanced level is our call, not UCD's. If you need foundations first, look at Certificate in Foundations of Artificial Intelligence.
