Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence

You must complete 144 credit points, of which 96 credit points must be from artificial intelligence study, and 48 credit points are used to provide additional depth or breadth through elective study. Elective units may be at any level, however, no more than ten units (60 credit points) can be credited to the artificial intelligence course at Level 1, and a minimum of 36 credit points must be completed in artificial intelligence at Level 3. If you are selected to participate in the IBL placement program, you will complete the FIT3045 Industry-based learning (18 credit points) and FIT2108 Industry-based learning (0 credit points). This will replace three free electives (18 credit points). All students in the IBL program must complete a unit over the summer semester or overload in one semester by one unit in order to complete the degree within three years (this is because you only complete 18 credit points of credit during the IBL placement semester). You must have completed at least three semesters of your course before starting your IBL placement. Note: Students at the Malaysia campus are required to complete an industry placement in order to graduate. This can be either the Industry-based learning unit (Part C) or the zero-credit-point unit FIT3199: Industry work experience. This unit will provide a framework for all undergraduate information technology students at the Malaysia Campus to complete the compulsory industry experience as required by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency.
