Master of Artificial Intelligence

The course focuses on machine learning and emphasises the skills sought by the industry, such as neural networks design and implementation, while continually reinforcing the fundamental knowledge that underpins AI. You will undertake assessments and tasks using the latest deep-learning models and tools, and develop ethical, responsible and explainable AI solutions that align with current government standards. In your final semester you'll showcase your AI competencies by completing an extensive industry-based project.

You need either a 3-year recognised Bachelor degree in Information Technology, Computational Science, or Engineering with a minimum of 2 years relevant work experience, or a 4-year degree in Information Technology, Computational Science, or Engineering. You must also meet Curtin's English language requirements, which include an IELTS Academic overall band score of 6.0 with no band below 6.0.
