About the course
This 12-month full-time programme provides cutting edge technical training and research opportunities in the emerging area of AI-driven and data analytics-driven cybersecurity. It is a unique offering that is only matched by a small number of European and US-based Universities and builds on the vast research experience and technical skills of renowned, interdisciplinary experts based in the School of Computer Science, University of Galway.
This programme is aimed at graduates with a primary qualification and / or extensive industry experience in Computer Science or related subject area. It is not a conversion programme but expects students to already be at a very high standard regarding their Computer Science education.
Career Opportunities
The high global demand in cybersecurity experts is being reflected in a range of career options for example as network security architect, cybersecurity operations analyst or information security analyst. While our graduates can compete for such jobs, the programme, in particular, will cater for the demand stemming from emerging R&D career paths in cybersecurity that have a strong focus on machine learning and data analytics. These include positions such as an AI security controls architect, cybersecurity data analytics engineer, or cyber intelligence analyst.
