Artificial intelligence is reshaping how industries innovate and deliver value - and leaders who understand its potential are in high demand. RMIT's Master of Artificial Intelligence equips you to harness this technology responsibly and creatively, whether advancing your career or stepping into a new one.
The program builds a strong foundation in AI principles while focusing on real-world application. You'll explore how machine learning, data analysis and automation are transforming business, health, finance and engineering - learning to apply these tools ethically and strategically.
Choose the Research stream to contribute new AI knowledge and prepare for PhD study, or the Project stream to work with industry partners or tackle your own workplace challenge through applied innovation.
You'll learn from global faculty and collaborate with peers from diverse disciplines – from finance, healthcare, technology, engineering and beyond. This vibrant network spans RMIT's Vietnam and Melbourne campuses, connecting you to industry experts, researchers and alumni driving AI transformation across sectors.
Combining practical experience with ethical insight, you'll graduate ready to design, develop and lead AI-driven solutions that create meaningful impact in business, technology and society.
ACS is a signatory to the Seoul Accord, which means graduates are internationally recognised. Visit the ACS website for more information on the Accord provisions and ACS membership.
The program consists of 14-15 courses (192 credit points), depending on your chosen stream (project or research).
Both streams share a strong technical foundation, allowing you to choose the path that best aligns with your goals.
Students with relevant studies in computer science, information technology, software engineering, data science, analytics or statistics will be eligible for advanced standing as follows:
