About this course

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most powerful forces behind digital disruption - and you can be a part of it.

Take a step into this rapidly evolving field with La Trobe's Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence.

In this course, you'll explore the fundamentals of AI technology and their roles in different industries, including health, manufacturing, smart cities, sustainable energy infrastructure and precision agriculture.

You'll learn from educators who are leading the way in virtual reality and computer engineering. Whether you want to upskill or break into the AI industry, they'll work closely with you to understand your career goals - then help you achieve them.

Or, if you want to keep advancing your AI knowledge after you finish the graduate certificate: continue on to our Master of Artificial Intelligence. You could specialise in key areas including interactive media and computer vision, intelligent systems and robotics, or natural language processing.

You'll learn:

  • Problem solving with AI
    • Discover how research skills and algorithms are used to develop AI-based solutions for societal and industrial benefit, including the legal and ethical impact of AI.
  • Machine learning
    • Develop data analysis skills to design, implement and evaluate machine learning techniques for practical outcomes.
  • Computer vision
    • See how AI mimics the human brain to locate objects in digital images and videos by using neural outcomes networks designed for image recognition.
  • Natural language processing
    • Understand the interactions between computers and human language that are used to program computers to process and analyse large volumes of data.

Students who commence study in Semester 1 will only have part-time study available. Students who commence study in Semester 2 will have the choice of full-time or part-time study.

The qualification awarded on graduation is recognised in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 8 - Graduate Certificate.
