Purpose of the Program

The Master of Artificial Intelligence program is designed for non-computing graduates with good grades in their first university degree and/or 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.

This program 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 involved in decision making processes in diverse areas driving economic growth, public policy and corporate strategy. This program will prepare you for a career as an AI Professional in this emerging area. You will be able to apply advanced AI knowledge in a range of contexts for professional practice or scholarship and also as a pathway for further learning. Job titles for AI professionals are very diverse, for example: AI engineer, machine learning engineer, business intelligence developer, research scientist and web analyst.

You will undertake a capstone course, either from the project or research streams of the program, which are respectively: COSC3003 Artificial Intelligence Postgraduate Project, or COSC2993 Minor Thesis / Project. The capstone project course provides you with hands on practical experience of an AI development project. The emphasis is on understanding and working within a corporate environment and integrating all the skills and knowledge that you have acquired from your previous courses into a solid base to progress from into your professional life. The capstone research course enables you to undertake a higher degree by research path, substituting the capstone project with a research minor thesis enabling your research career.

The program is primarily delivered at the RMIT Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City campus. Course are blended online and face-to-face delivery.
