About this program

The Master of Artificial Intelligence at RMIT University in Melbourne equips students with advanced skills in building, deploying, and managing intelligent systems. This two-year master's degree covers core areas including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and the ethical dimensions of AI usage. Emphasis is placed on merging theoretical knowledge with practical applications, ensuring graduates are ready to tackle real-world challenges in AI-driven industries.

Australian master's degrees such as this typically require completion of a set number of units of study, each contributing to the course’s total credit points. At RMIT, students follow a structured progression of core and elective units, with opportunities to tailor studies to specific interests within AI. The programme often includes a capstone project or research thesis, allowing students to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities through in-depth research or the development of an AI solution addressing a real business or research need. There may also be options for work-integrated learning (WIL), connecting students with industry partners for practical experience—an important feature in Australia's robust technology and innovation sector.

Graduates master technical skills in algorithm design, software development, data analytics, and deploying AI systems in sectors like health, finance, manufacturing, and creative industries. The course is suited to those with a background in computer science, IT, engineering, or data science who wish to deepen their expertise and launch or advance a career in the rapidly evolving AI field.

International students in Australia can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and, upon graduation, may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) to gain post-study work experience in the thriving Australian technology sector. Applicants should refer to the official RMIT and CRICOS pages to confirm entry requirements, credit structures, and the latest programme details.
