Bachelor
Deakin's Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence equips you with the knowledge and skills to design, develop and evolve software solutions that harness the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Get hands-on experience developing AI-driven software solutions with the support of academics who are leaders in this emerging field. Our world-class research in AI feeds directly into our classrooms, ensuring what you learn is at the cutting edge of industry expectations and capabilities.
You will have access to fully equipped computer labs with the latest software and technologies to ensure you graduate with the specialist skills to design and build the intelligent systems of the future. You will also have opportunities to obtain certificates from the training program for Microsoft Azure AI.
With a minimum of 100 hours of industry experience, you will develop in-demand skills working side-by-side with experienced AI specialists.
Want the skills to build intelligent machines and software that power our future?
AI is driving digital disruption, with new technology redefining many industries. Businesses are looking to take advantage of recent advances in AI, creating a large demand for skilled professionals.
AI offers you an exciting future, as a growing number of industries spend time and money improving what they do through learned behaviour and operating efficiencies. This is just the beginning; many more challenging, real-world problems remain to be solved.
The rise of intelligent systems such as self-driving cars and smart digital assistants have created high demand for skilled AI professionals to develop and implement them. The number of jobs emerging in the AI space is increasing each year and will enable productivity increases for most industries across the globe.
As an artificial intelligence specialist, you will work alongside software engineers, data scientists, application developers and business analysts, applying your expert knowledge to ensure AI is appropriately integrated into software solutions.
As a graduate, you'll be well-equipped to work on the design, development and operation of AI-driven software solutions.
AI offers an exciting future for students as more industries invest in improving what they do through learned behaviour and operating efficiencies. However, this is the tip of the iceberg and many more challenging real-world problems remain to be solved.
Graduates will have the specialist knowledge and be equipped to work on the design, development and operation of software solutions involving AI, across a broad range of industry sectors. You may find employment in roles such as a data scientist, data analyst, AI technology software engineer, AI ethicist or an AI architect to name a few.

The University aims to provide students with as much credit as possible for approved prior study or informal learning which exceeds the normal entrance requirements for the course and is within the constraints of the course regulations. Students are required to complete a minimum of one-third of the course at Deakin University, or four credit points, whichever is the greater. In the case of certificates, including graduate certificates, a minimum of two credit points within the course must be completed at Deakin.
You can also refer to the Recognition of prior learning system which outlines the credit that may be granted towards a Deakin University degree and how to apply for credit.
The Faculty may grant credit towards a Bachelor of Information Technology for previous tertiary study and other approved forms of post-secondary study or experience. This previous study need not have led to a complete qualification; for example, a student may be given credit after completing the first year of a course in another faculty or at another institution. This credit is called Recognition of prior learning. All applications for Recognition of prior learning must be made initially to the Selection Officer who will advise students of the necessary procedures.
All applications are considered on merit and usually no credit will be given for subjects/courses/units completed more than seven years prior to the request. For the Bachelor of Information Technology, the maximum Recognition of prior learning that can be granted is 16 credit points. This may include credit for non-computing studies.
