MSc in Information Technology - A2I2 in Waurn Ponds Australia | Deakin University

Each student enrolled in the Master of Science - Information Technology program will be assigned a primary supervisor from The Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute (A²I²)'s full-time academic staff, selected for their research expertise. Additional associate supervisors, either from within or outside the institution, may be assigned to support the main supervisor. The program requires students to potentially fulfill specific attendance obligations and mandates the completion of a thesis presenting original research findings in their chosen field of study, as determined during enrollment. Candidates will be introduced to potential supervisors to discuss possible research topics.

To earn a Master by Research degree, candidates must exhibit comprehensive mastery of complex subject matter in their chosen discipline(s) by producing significant new knowledge through rigorous application of research methodologies. This achievement takes the form of a thesis not exceeding 50,000 words, which undergoes external evaluation. While research forms the core of the degree, students must also successfully complete at least one coursework unit as part of their requirements.
