About this program

The Master of Artificial Intelligence at Curtin University is a one-year postgraduate degree based in Perth. You’ll study machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and the ethical issues that come with creating and deploying AI systems. Your units of study account for a specific number of credit points, and the degree typically combines core subjects with electives so you can dig deeper into areas like robotics, data mining, or AI for business.

Australian master’s degrees like this one often include a research or industry-focused project towards the end, giving you the chance to apply your knowledge to real-world problems or to develop a portfolio piece for employers. Curtin works closely with local industry, which means you may have the chance to work on projects that matter to businesses in Western Australia’s fast-growing tech sector. Some students might also choose a work-integrated learning unit or a professional placement if available; always check the specific opportunities on the official course page.

The degree suits graduates of IT, computer science, or engineering—anyone keen to build in-demand AI skills in programming, data analytics, and model deployment. You’ll grow your practical experience and learn how to use industry-standard tools, setting you up for the tech roles emerging across the sector. Studying in Australia allows you to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods, and eligible graduates may apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), which can be a pathway to work after graduation.
