Learn from the best
Deakin is ranked 4th in Australia, and top 150 universities globally for computer science and engineering, as well as in the top 200 of universities worldwide for computer science and information systems.
Deakin is one of the only universities in Australia offering a specialised course in AI instead of having it as a major. It gets much more specialised in the second and third years, which is something I was looking for.
