Master Programme
MSc Data Analytics - TU422
A 12-month MSc that works both as a conversion course for graduates in science, engineering, business and other numerate fields and as an advanced option for computing graduates, with modules tailored to each background. Everyone takes fundamentals of analytics, statistics for analytics, data mining and organisational decision-making; conversion students add programming for analytics and data exploration, while computing graduates take advanced analytics programming and machine learning. Electives include programming for big data, deep learning, digital ethics and machine learning. The programme ends with a research project in which each student chooses a real problem and dataset, analyses it and presents both a client report and a research paper over the summer. Specialist streams in Data Analytics for Sport and Data Analytics with Precision Diagnostics share the same code and fee and must be chosen when applying.

Application Deadline
Applications for September 2027 entry reopen in mid-November 2026, per the course page. TU Dublin had not published its 2027 non-EU closing date; for September 2026 entry, full-time non-EU applications closed on Friday 26 June 2026, and courses can close earlier once full.

Tuition Information
2026-27: the full-time non-EU fee is €21,750 for the whole programme, per TU Dublin's Postgraduate Fees schedule for September 2026 - August 2027 (approved February and June 2026, updated 31 August 2026); the course page, which already lists a September 2027 start (to be confirmed), shows the same total without naming a year, and 2027-28 rates had not been published. To guarantee a place, non-EU students pay at least 50% of the year's tuition fee (or €6,000, whichever is greater); the balance can be paid in instalments but must be cleared by the end of January for September starts (end of May for January starts). TU Dublin takes international payments through TransferMate
Admission Requirements
- An honours bachelor's degree with at least a 2:1 in computing or a related area (advanced route), or a 2:1 in science, engineering, business or another subject with evidence of good numeracy (conversion route). A 2:2 with relevant work experience may be considered, and applicants with substantial experience can be assessed through Recognition of Prior Learning
- The Precision Diagnostics stream also needs a background in biology or healthcare, from study or work
- Country equivalents (TU Dublin postgraduate entry requirements for India): for a four-year engineering or technology degree, a 2:2 is treated as 50-55% and a 2:1 as 65-70%, depending on the tier of the awarding institution; for three-year professional degrees such as BBA or BCA, a 2:2 is 5-5.5/10 CGPA and a 2:1 is 6.5-7/10 CGPA. A grading scale must be submitted, and TU Dublin notes that degrees should generally be at least four years long
- English language (if English is not your first language; issued within 2 years of the course start): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or an equivalent test. TU Dublin's comparison table treats IELTS 6.0 as Duolingo 120, TOEFL iBT 80 or PTE 65, 6.5 as Duolingo 130, TOEFL 92 or PTE 70, and 7.0 as Duolingo 135, TOEFL 100 or PTE 75; Trinity ISE IV with merit is also accepted. A degree taught through English or in an English-speaking country may be accepted at the university's discretion
- Application: apply online through TU Dublin's CRM Recruit system from the course page (€50 non-refundable application fee) with your passport, grading scale, degree certificate and transcripts for each year (original and English translation), proof of English, an up-to-date CV and a statement of purpose of about 500 words. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee a place, and some applicants are interviewed
