MSc in Data Science

This Level 9 MSc in Data Science is taught on campus at ATU's Donegal-Letterkenny campus over one year full-time or two years part-time. It comprises six mandatory taught modules covering descriptive analytics, data operations, computational mathematics, machine learning, predictive analytics and deep learning. The programme ends with a dissertation in which students apply the taught material to a substantial problem; students who omit the dissertation may exit with a Postgraduate Diploma. What the fee covers: the non-EU (international) postgraduate full-time rate, per year — the page labels it 'Total Fees Non-EU', and the full-time route is one year. Fee year: 2025-26. English requirement as published: IELTS 6.0. Before you budget: the course page shows 'Total Fees EU: EUR 6,300' and 'Total Fees Non-EU: EUR 14,000', with no academic year attached. ATU's postgraduate fees page labels the same EUR 14,000 as the 2025/2026 non-EU rate, which is why the fee year is 2025-26 — a later intake may be charged a rate ATU has not yet published. The campus is Donegal-Letterkenny. Entry requires an honours degree with first or second-class honours or equivalent. ATU advertises a 20% alumni scholarship on eligible Level 9 master's courses, which does not apply if you are new to ATU. Which intake you can apply for: the page carries a live notice that 'Non-EU applications are currently closed. Register to be notified when applications reopen' for the September 2026 intake, so you would be applying for a later intake, possibly at a different rate.
