Professional Academy Diploma in Advanced Artificial Intelligence

This course serves as a catalyst for career advancement across multiple sectors. AI concepts are increasingly becoming a non-negotiable skillset - not just in tech roles but also for leadership and strategy positions. By delving deeper into AI's multifaceted applications in business, ethical considerations, and governance, you'll gain the sort of specialised knowledge that sets you apart in the job market. Whether you're an Operations Manager aiming to enhance efficiency, a Policy Advisor navigating the regulatory landscape, or a Marketing Executive leveraging AI for customer engagement, mastering the complexities of AI will make you an invaluable asset to any organisation.

Our online experience is designed to be just as interactive, supportive, and inspiring as the UCD Professional Academy campus experience.

Online courses can be accessed from any computer or laptop with an internet connection.

Live lectures are delivered using Zoom. During these lectures, your teachers will use technology interactively to ensure an engaging learning experience. When appropriate, students will be encouraged to activate their microphones so that they can ask questions and communicate with other students.

Student care is a high priority at UCD Professional Academy, which is why our Student Services team is on hand to support you throughout your time with us. They will respond to any queries you have, help you with any technical issues, and facilitate your learning experience at every point. All students are given access to our Student Portal, where you can see your timetable, access all your study materials, and manage your account.

As part of this course, you will be asked to work on two assignments.

The first one is an action Learning Log that captures how your understanding of AI has evolved during the course. The second allows you to apply what you have learned about AI in a practical way to solve a real-world problem or pain point in your professional context. You will conduct the project yourself with support and then report on the process you went through (what, why, where, when how, and lessons learned).

UCD Professional Academy Diplomas and Certificates are designed to give your career an advantage. Developed in conjunction with industry thought leaders our courses teach practical, applied skills to support you to achieve your career and business goals. Professional Academy Diplomas are suitable for career minded learners wishing to advance their professional skills and prospects rather than their academic credentials.

The Professional Academy is an independent wholly owned part of UCD designed to address the need for skills development in the workforce. Courses tend to be short, designed and delivered by industry practitioners, and are not part of nor do they lead to a traditional University award such as a degree or a masters. They are widely accepted by employers and many students are sponsored to study by their organisation.
