The course provides in-depth knowledge of dairying and the dairy industry. It is designed to ensure that participants acquire the high level of technical and managerial skills required:

• To run a modern commercial dairy farm enterprise.
• To gain employment in the agri-business sector.

Students spend 20 weeks on course work in the college.

In addition students complete a 16 week practical learning period on an approved training host farm. While most complete this in Ireland, there are opportunities for completing the practical learning period in the USA, New Zealand, Australia and Europe.

On successful completion of the course students are awarded a QQI Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Agriculture. Students who successfully complete this course meet the training requirements for Stamp Duty Exemption and DAFM Schemes.

The Level 6 Advanced Certificate is the Teagasc recommended education pathway for a technician. The two-year pathway incorporates the Level 5 Certificate and the Level 6 Advanced Certificate. The initial application should be made to the Teagasc Level 5 Certificate in Agriculture course.

Advanced Certificate in Dance is a two-year dance programme at QQI Level 6. This course will further develop your choreographic and technical dance skills in preparation for a career in the profession in Ireland and internationally.

A particular attraction of this course is the opportunity to obtain the ISTD DDE inter-national teaching qualifications in Classical Ballet and Modern Theatre Dance.

At the end of the first year, you will achieve a full Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Dance Award.

At the end of the 2nd year you will complete the Level 6 teaching qualification and the ISTD DDE International teaching qualification.

This dance course provides a comprehensive foundation for professional progression, combining high-quality technical training with ISTD and HNC qualifications. Led by industry experts from the ISTD and RAD, students develop essential musicality, strength, and performance skills tailored to meet professional standards. The program is specifically designed to prepare dancers for further vocational training, higher education, and successful careers in the performing arts.

Data Science is the science of collating, managing, analysing, visualising and understanding data. It is key to unlocking the hidden wisdom that is stored in the vast amounts of data available in today’s world.

Data Science students study statistics, computer science and mathematics and crucially will learn to appreciate the overlap between eliciting valuable information from data through statistical reasoning and managing databases via complex manipulations.

NCI’s BSc (Honours) in Data Science is practical in nature, providing you with knowledge of the way data science can solve real problems and facilitate business decisions based on evidence. Due to the shortage of suitably qualified data science professionals in Ireland and internationally, this degree offers exceptional job prospects for graduates.

NCI’s Higher Certificate in Data Science uses a blend of computer science and data science to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out data modelling, data management and data analysis activities, and to interpret and communicate that data to a variety of audiences.

Build entry-level skills in data, programming, coding (Python) and project management to support smart business decisions.

Industry-recognised certifications from City & Guilds, ICDL, and Microsoft.

On successful completion of relevant units within this course, you will receive the relevant City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate which is comparable to Level 5 on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). All standalone ITS, Microsoft and ICDL modules lead to profile certification, providing industry-recognised digital competency.

Fancy a career as a professional problem solver, investigator and storyteller? That’s exactly what a data scientist is.

From retail and sports science to journalism and fintech, data scientists are increasingly at the heart of business and government. Whether it’s enabling product recommendations or helping a sports team decide what player to buy next, data science can unlock the secrets of any sector.

If you like maths, creative problem solving and collaborative work, data science could really appeal to you. This course sits at the intersection of computer science, maths and business, enabling you to understand what is possible with cutting-edge technology such as machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The Bachelor of Science in Data Science and AI is a state of the art course that aims to provide graduates with leading-edge skills in data science and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, as well as fundamental skills of computer science. 

The course equips students with the skills to transform data into informed decisions and solve real-world problems using technology. Students build a strong foundation in computing, including programming, software development, and core computing principles, while specialising in data science, machine learning, and applied AI.

Mathematics and statistics are taught in context to see how numeracy supports practical applications rather than just theory.

Our BSc in Data Science & Analytics degree at UCC provides education in data storage, manipulation and interpretation using mathematical sciences and computational methods which assists us in solving complex real-world problems.

In the first and second year, you will study the mathematical and computational foundations of data science and analytics. During the third year, you begin applying the fundamentals of data science and analytics to real-life problems and data. 

Apply the principles of data visualisation to the analysis, design and communication of information in order to provide insights, clarity and meaning.

The aim of data visualisation is to effectively communicate information through a graphical means. This course aims to provide an understanding of the theory underpinning the field of data visualisation and to provide an introduction to the practicalities of creating effective graphical representations of data.

The course is suitable for individuals involved in the collection, analysis or interpretation of data, as well as for those responsible for the communication of data to a range of audiences.

The Datacenter Academy programme covers content at QQI level 5 and level 6 of the National Framework of Qualifications in the area Computer Systems and Networks.
