Course summary

The MSc Artificial Intelligence for Weather & Climate Change is a 1-Year, full-time course that integrates artificial intelligence, meteorology, and climate science to equip graduates with advanced data-driven and modelling skills for understanding and predicting weather and climate phenomena. Co-delivered with Met Éireann, the Irish Meteorological Service, the programme combines rigorous theoretical foundations with practical training in AI, machine learning, and numerical modelling. Students learn to design and implement AI systems for environmental data, forecast extremes, and assess climate impacts.

The course prepares graduates to contribute to cutting-edge research and to address real-world challenges in climate forecasting, disaster mitigation, and environmental policy. Graduates will be uniquely positioned to apply AI in global weather and climate contexts.
