The UTS Online Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence Management is designed for experienced professionals who want to apply AI in business, technology or related organisational contexts.
It can suit professionals who work with data or technical teams, contribute to digital or transformation initiatives, manage projects or products, or want to build the confidence to make more informed decisions about AI adoption, governance and implementation.
The course can suit professionals who are new to applying AI, but it is not designed for people at the very beginning of their careers or with no relevant professional context.
You do not need to be an AI specialist or have coding experience. However, the course is best suited to experienced professionals in business, technology or related fields who want to understand how AI can be applied, governed and managed in real organisational settings.
Not necessarily. The course has entry pathways for applicants from both technology and non-technology backgrounds, but relevant professional experience is required.
Current entry pathways include a relevant technology degree plus at least one year of relevant experience; a degree in another field plus at least one year of experience that demonstrates technology or AI knowledge; or at least three years of relevant professional or equivalent experience demonstrating technology or AI capability.
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee an offer of a place.
No. A coding background is not required.
The course focuses on how professionals evaluate, govern and apply AI in business and organisational contexts rather than training students to build AI systems from code. You’ll develop enough understanding of AI and machine learning to work more effectively with technical teams and make informed decisions about AI adoption.
You’ll build capability in identifying AI opportunities, evaluating AI technologies, interpreting data-informed insights, working with technical teams and considering the ethical, governance and regulatory implications of AI.
You’ll also strengthen your understanding of machine learning, data visualisation and enterprise AI so you can contribute to practical AI initiatives and make more informed decisions about implementation.
The UTS Online Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence Management comprises four core subjects totalling 24 credit points:
