The Master of Artificial Intelligence curriculum covers a broad range of current and emerging areas of AI, designed for both foundational understanding and advanced specialization.

1. Core AI Foundations: Units include fundamental and advanced knowledge in data analytics, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, reinforcement learning, and the ethics of AI. This provides a strong theoretical and practical base.
2. Specialised Streams: Students can gain expertise in areas such as Computer Vision (how computers perceive things from images and videos) and Natural Language Processing (enabling computers to understand human language).
3. Project Stream: The program offers a significant project stream where students can opt for either a research project (learning academic research methodologies) or an industry project (gaining hands-on experience with real-world industry challenges), culminating in a Capstone Project.
