Yes, many MSc programs in AI and Data Science are suitable even if you have no prior experience in these fields, especially if your background is in a related area like engineering, computer science, or mathematics.

These programs often start with foundational courses to help you build the necessary knowledge before moving to advanced topics. In the UK and Ireland, several universities offer flexible admission options and may include bridging modules or foundational classes for students new to AI or Data Science.

Your strong academic background and work experience will further support your application.
