COURSE DESCRIPTION
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving digital disruption through the development of smart systems and machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. From self-driving cars to the proliferation of smart assistants, AI is a growing part of everyday life. This specialised four-year course prepares you with the knowledge and skills required to design, develop and evolve computational solutions that harness the latest advances in AI. You will study up-to-the-minute trends, insights and emerging topics to ensure you graduate with a highly relevant skill set that is sought after by employers across the globe. You will explore different AI tools and techniques as you learn key concepts and deep dive into advanced topics in machine learning, language and speech processing, and robotics.
Want the skills to develop the intelligent systems that drive digital disruption?
The Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence (Honours) gives you ample opportunity to sharpen your skill set under the guidance and direction of our supportive teaching staff. In the beginning you’ll explore fundamental concepts across mathematical modelling and programming, before diving into more advanced topics in data wrangling, machine learning, natural language and speech processing, robotics and AI. You’ll also have opportunities to undertake a professional placement and to work in teams with an industry partner, tackling authentic business challenges as part of a capstone project. You can also focus your studies towards the area that interests you most by undertaking minor studies in an area of your choosing. In your final year, culminate your knowledge in your final year through completion of an honours research project.
Career outcomes
Skilled AI professionals are increasingly in demand as organisations realise the potential of intelligence systems to improve our daily lives – both in and outside the workplace. The increasing integration of AI into business practices enhances automation and operating efficiencies such that skilled professionals in this emerging field of IT are highly sought-after across the globe.
As a graduate, you will have a highly specialised skill set that enables you to push boundaries. You may find employment in roles such as a data engineer/scientist, data analyst, AI technology engineer, AI ethicist, or an AI architect – to name a few.
By undertaking a focused research project in your final year of study, you will acquire research skills and advanced technical expertise in your chosen topic. Plus, you will develop the skills to become a creative, solutions-driven professional in the dynamic and ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence. You will also be well positioned to pursue further study including a masters by research or PhD.
