Top of pagePurpose of the Program
The Graduate Certificate in Foundation of Artificial Intelligence program is designed for non-computing graduates and/or graduates with recent industry experience in a non-computing field. Your background may range from having few computing skills, to having a partial or less "hands-on" software-oriented computer science background.
The Graduate Certificate prepares you for further study via the Master of Artificial Intelligence, which provides breadth of high-level computing knowledge as well as depth in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the design and implementation of AI Systems. We are in an era of rapid technological change which will increasingly see AI computer systems take over control and decision making in diverse areas and driving economic growth, public policy and corporate strategy.
Your learning experiences will involve a broad mix of study modes, including online lectorials, tutorials, practical classes, studios, project work and seminars, using face-to-face, online, intensive, and other flexible delivery mechanisms.
This program will be delivered online, however some courses may include activites that may require on-campus attendance.
