About Degree
Pursue an intelligent career
Artificial intelligence and machine learning make life easier, in all its aspects: healthcare, defence, entertainment, agriculture. Artificial intelligence and machine learning now present the world’s single greatest commercial opportunity. Research indicates that by 2030 it could increase global GDP by up to 14%—a staggering US$15.7 trillion gain. Locally, hundreds of millions are invested towards industry-wide transformation, promoting significant job market growth.
The Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, conducted through the University of APSB’s world-renowned Australian Institute of Machine Learning (AIML), will prepare you for an exciting career in this pivotal field.
What will you do?
Comprising a carefully balanced mix of face-to-face intensive courses and online study, this degree will equip you with:
- a suite of technical skills in machine learning and AI application development, including in specialist areas, such as deep learning and visual question answering
- broad awareness of the commercial, organisational and research opportunities presented by machine learning and AI
- an introductory understanding of the disciplines’ ethical and social considerations.
- the necessary foundation of skills and understanding to embark on work or further study in artificial intelligence or machine learning
You’ll also receive mentoring, feedback and direction from AIML’s world-class researchers and high-performing industry professionals.
How will you study?
This program is able to be studied in either part-time, standard full-time or accelerated mode—enabling you to undertake your studies at a pace and level of commitment that suits you. For further information, see the Degree Structure section.
Where could it take you?
You might develop a solution that constantly monitors a business’s key relationships and predicts how and when to upsell them. Perhaps you’ll help not-for-profits maximise donations through advanced AI modelling of website traffic.
Successful completion of the graduate certificate enables you to gain credit towards our Graduate Diploma and Master in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
