Artificial intelligence in Australia: the figures

Across 11 universities this subject comes to 15 programmes on our list (4 bachelor's, 11 master's). One year of a bachelor's here costs ₹29 lakh (A$43,300) to ₹31 lakh (A$45,700). Least expensive: Swinburne's Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence in Business, at ₹29 lakh. One year of a master's here costs ₹24 lakh (A$36,440) to ₹40 lakh (A$60,040). Campus cities: Adelaide (5), Melbourne (3), Sydney (2), Wollongong (2), Canberra. Bachelor's study lasts 3 years; a master's here takes 2 years.

Specialisation or full master's

Two kinds of course carry AI in the name: a full Master of Artificial Intelligence (Monash, UTS, RMIT, Western Sydney, Adelaide) with AI throughout, and an AI specialisation inside a Master of IT or computer science (Charles Darwin, Flinders, Wollongong, Adelaide's applied AI). The specialisation is cheaper and broader; the full master's goes deeper into machine learning, vision and language models.

Questions from Indian students: Artificial intelligence in Australia

Which university is best for AI in Australia?
Monash, ANU, Adelaide (home of the Australian Institute for Machine Learning) and UTS for depth; RMIT and Western Sydney for applied programmes at lower fees.
Do I need a computer science degree for an AI master's?
Most AI master's expect programming and mathematics. Students without them start with a Master of IT and take AI electives.
