[tab_content]

AIT have three postgraduate programmes on offer in Cloud Native Computing.  The entry requirements are the same for all three.  However the breadth of knowledge to be acquired and relative time commitment required from students is significantly different.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Cloud Native Computing is an applied programme with 30 ECTS focusing on the development of cloud native computing systems. It is intended for IT professionals who wish to gain specific skills in Software Design with Cloud Native Computing. This programme has 6 contact hours per week and at least 6 hours of self-directed learning are necessary per week.

Postgraduate Diploma in Cloud Native Computing.

Master of Science in Cloud Native Computing.

It is necessary that you contact the Programme Coordinator to discuss which programme is most suited to your needs before you make an application.  Please do not apply for more than one programme within this suite of programmes.

Aim of Programme


The aim of these programmes is to provide students with the following:

  • An understanding and ability to use Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) in order to run applications on servers that can be flexibly provisioned on demand.
  • The ability to design systems using, or evolve them towards, a microservices architecture.
  • The skills and ability to automate software build, test and deployment using continuous integration.
  • The skills and ability to containerize: package processes with their dependencies making them easy to test, move and deploy.
  • The skills and ability to orchestrate: abstract away individual servers in production using off-the-shelf management and orchestration tools.
