Harness AI to shape the future

Artificial intelligence and machine learning make life easier, in all its aspects: healthcare, defence, entertainment, agriculture. Artificial intelligence and machine learning now present the world’s single greatest commercial opportunity. Research indicates that by 2030 it could increase global GDP by up to 14%—a staggering US$15.7 trillion gain. Locally, hundreds of millions are invested towards industry-wide transformation, promoting significant job market growth.

Employment prospects are outstanding. AI and machine learning appointments worldwide have doubled in the past three years, with demand easily outstripping supply.

The Master of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, conducted through the 成人大片’s world-renowned Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), will position you perfectly to play a senior leadership role in this exciting future.

What will you do?

Our Master of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is driven by AIML’s cutting-edge research and extensive industry links, spanning diverse international sectors – from health, medical technology, defence and security to environment and natural resources.

This degree will equip you with:

  • highly advanced technical skills in machine learning and AI application development, including in specialist areas, such as deep learning and visual question answering
  • a firm grasp of the commercial, organisational and research opportunities presented by machine learning and AI
  • a deep understanding of the disciplines’ ethical and social considerations
  • the chance to gain invaluable real-world experience, through a major research or industry-based project as well as an optional industry internship.
  • extensive industry connections and networks.

You’ll also receive ongoing mentoring, feedback and direction from AIML’s world-class researchers and high-performing industry professionals.

How will you study?

This program is able to be studied in either part-time, standard full-time or accelerated mode—enabling you to undertake your studies at a pace and level of commitment that suits you. For further information, see the Degree Structure section.

Where could a Master of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning take you?

You could enhance children’s education with AI-based personal study plans. You might help climate-change-affected farmers feed the world with machine-learning-driven environmental management systems. Perhaps you’ll help extend life expectancy by perfecting tailored health-plan development based on AI analysis of key predictive data.

The degree also provides an outstanding foundation for further advanced study through a machine learning or AI PhD.
