Overview
The Master of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will provide graduates with a foundation in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and allow for the identification and application of emerging developments and considerations. Both Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are rapidly evolving spaces with implications for the future of work and our daily lives.
In this program, students undertake a variety of core and elective courses, designed to provide knowledge of the techniques and theory of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and their basis in computer science and mathematics. A significant capstone project combines skills developed across the program. Students will elect to undertake either a research project or an industry-based project.
The Master of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is an AQF Level 9 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 2 years.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Explain and use the techniques and methods of applied machine learning and artificial intelligence to meet industry needs.
- Identify, write, implement and analyse machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches and techniques to datasets for industry needs.
- Demonstrate strong independent and collaborative problem solving skills to develop learning systems.
- Evaluate and select appropriate machine learning and artificial intelligence platforms for real-world problems.
- Articulate ethical, social and legal considerations arising from the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Conditions
Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Faculty before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.
Program Maximum Duration: As specified in Table 1 of the Coursework Academic Programs Policy, this program must be completed within a Maximum Duration which includes any periods of non-enrolment, leave of absence or approved study at other institutions for credit towards a Program.
