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.

• Certify supporting documents

  Most documents need to be certified. For example, award certificates, academic transcripts and your identity papers (passport). Documents in languages other than English will also need to be translated. Take the original document and a photocopy to an authorised person (for example, justice of the peace, public notary, member of the police force or Australian lawyer), to sign.

  Be sure to attach all requested supporting documentation, otherwise your application could be delayed. If you get your application in early, this gives us more time to arrange visas and accommodation if you need them.

• Submit your application

  Depending on your nationality and country of residence, you can submit your application directly to Deakin through our online international student application service StudyLink Connect or through a Deakin authorised agent.
