Alternate pathways to the Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence
Transfer from a related Deakin course or complete single units
Gain valuable skills and knowledge to unlock your study options. With this pathway, you can start studying in a related Deakin course, before applying to transfer once you've achieved the requirements for your preferred degree. Course transfers are subject to availability and meeting the required course transfer guidelines for the degree. In some circumstances, a course transfer may require you to change your campus of study. To ensure you get on the right study path, it's a good idea to speak with a student adviser first and discuss your options. The following degree is a recommended pathway to this course:
Bachelor of Computer Science(to meet course maths pre-requisite, required to successfully complete unit SIT190 Introduction to Functions, Relations and Graphs)
Bachelor of Information Technology(to meet course maths pre-requisite, required to successfully complete unit SIT190 Introduction to Functions, Relations and Graphs)
Alternatively, you can study related Deakin units as full fee-paying single units. It's recommended you speak with a student adviser to discuss requirements for this pathway, and you'll still need to meet course entry requirements including English language criteria. However you may be able to enter your chosen course by completing at least two of the following units:
- Introduction to Functions, Relations and Graphs (recommended for people who have not met the maths entry requirements)
- Discrete Mathematics
- Introduction to Mathematical Modelling
