Yes, you can apply for a Master's in Data Science in Ireland after your Bachelor's in Civil Engineering with a CGPA of 5.9 and cleared backlogs.
Many programs prefer a minimum CGPA of 6.0 (60%), but some universities may consider applicants with 5.9, especially if you show strong quantitative skills or relevant experience.
To strengthen your application:
- Highlight any mathematics, statistics, or programming coursework.
- Include projects, internships, or experience in data analysis or programming.
- Prepare a clear statement of purpose explaining your motivation and goals.
- Aim for an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0 (subject to change).
