Graduate Diploma in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Graduate Diploma in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science extends an existing IT-related qualification and work experience. It sits within a staged postgraduate IT structure at Murdoch, where students can complete the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology after one semester before progressing to the Graduate Diploma after a full year of study, with unit choices determining a specialisation in Information Technology Management, Cyber Security and Networking, or Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. Students who continue to the full masters degree can complete it either through coursework alone (48 credit points) or through coursework plus a dissertation (36 credit points of coursework and a 12-credit-point dissertation). Data science and related ICT roles appear on Australia's skilled occupation lists, and the 485 graduate visa gives international graduates time to build the work experience needed for a skills assessment. This course is delivered by Murdoch University in Western Australia.

Data ScientistANZSCO 224115
A newer ANZSCO code (added 2022) that sits on CSOL only, supporting the employer-sponsored 482 and 186. Not on MLTSSL or STSOL, so it does not currently open the points-tested 189, 190, or 491, and no state nominates this exact code.
