Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the ability to transform every aspect of our lives – from cars driving themselves to robots performing complex surgery. It can help to predict the path of bushfires, detect early-stage skin cancers, and counteract false and polarising information on social media. AI can help catch wildlife poachers, schedule predictive maintenance of public transport and infrastructure, and monitor the outbreak of disease to stop its spread. It informs business decisions, optimises operations, and drives outcomes of leading companies. The potential of AI is infinite.

As Australia’s #1 university for engineering and technology,* Monash is the only one of the prestigious  Group of Eight to offer a Master of Artificial Intelligence. Delivered by the best minds in the field, this course gives you the specialist knowledge and adaptability to move to the forefront of AI transformation. It empowers you to design, develop, and operate AI-based products and intelligent systems for the advancement of everything from healthcare, agriculture and education to manufacturing, law and financial services.

Fast track your Master’s. There is no need for foundation units. You can jump right into the core units of the course, exploring topics such as deep learning, machine learning, natural language processing, human-computer interactions and modern optimisation techniques. Through advanced practice units, you will have an opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills to real-world challenges. You can either complete a research project under the guidance of an internationally recognised expert (as a potential pathway to a PhD) or engage in an industry experience studio project.

The Faculty of Information Technology is located in Clayton, at the heart of the Monash Precinct, where world-class research centres and facilities create a vibrant backdrop for meaningful graduate study. Among these are the Laboratory for Dialogue Research, the Human-Computer Interaction Lab and the Centre for Data Science. And our Woodside Building for Technology and Design will offer the latest dynamic and interactive learning spaces.
