Accreditation of the Programmes
The Data Science Institute (Ireland) (DSI) offers professional credentials that have been developed to reflect that data science professionals require technical expertise and are trained to think scientifically and creatively and apply their knowledge to solving real-world problems.
We currently offer a Professional Diploma and Postgraduate Diploma in Data Science that is open to graduates from computing, science, business and other numerate disciplines.
The programmes develop the mathematical, statistical, programming and data visualisation skills required for data science, as well as provide the opportunity to apply these to real-world problem solving through project-based assessment.
All the assessments and certification exams are guided by the Edison European Data Science Framework’s body of knowledge (DS-BoK). The Edison framework is an EU-funded initiative to establish the data science profession, with contributors from the universities, businesses and the government sector.
