RTE reports that a target of delivering more than 47,000 graduates with high level ICT skills by 2022 has been set by the Government to meet Ireland's need for graduates in computing, electronic and electrical engineering.
Technology Skills 2022, Ireland's third ICT Skills Action Plan, has recently been launched by Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys.
Accordingly, Dublin Business School offers the follow courses in line with Ireland's ongoing economic growth strategy:
Master of Science (MSc) FinTech
Master of Science (MSc) in Data Analytics
Master of Science (MSc) in Business Analytics*
The Irish government has agreed to a policy which now allows international postgraduates to stay in the country for up to two years after finishing their degree.
The policy extends the Third Level Graduate Scheme to non-EU/EEA residents who have studied in Ireland to be eligible to legally work for 40 hours per week.
This policy increases the ‘stay back option’ for students at level 9 or 10 of the Irish National Framework of Qualifications from 12 months to 24 months. It is now valid for any international student who is studying for a master’s degree, postgraduate diploma, doctoral degree, or higher doctorate.
