Funny story: this blurb was written by a network of AI spiders crawling the web for the best way to convince you to do a Bachelor of Software Engineering. Nah, not really. But one day that could be a reality. You could build a system that generates course guide information, putting the human writer out of work and – WAIT A MINUTE. Ahem. What you’ll actually be doing, you monster, is a combination of technical stuff like computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition and machine learning, as well as the more ‘human’ topics including ideation, design thinking, project management and interpersonal communication.
The big difference at Billy Blue is that you’ll start working in your industry from day one – getting real experience, learning from real industry professionals and making real industry connections. Plus, we have university accreditation and a commercially focused educational philosophy.

We want you to feel, see and be heard. We think that students learn faster and progress through material quicker in smaller classes. Our ‘Blended’ study options mean that you can also study on campus and online during your course.
The tech industry is changing by the minute; concepts and technology we could only have imagined a couple of years ago are now part of our daily lives. Recognising that we’re working in a dynamic technology landscape, we have created the Bachelor of Software Engineering: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in collaboration with IBM, building a powerhouse of skills, future thinking and market insights.
Founded on extensive industry consultations, we’ll offer you a range of technical subjects with a focus on the major areas of AI – from Natural Language Processing to Robotics. Harnessing your own creative talents and expertise, and led by industry professionals, you’ll identify and solve complex artificial intelligence software engineering problems. You’ll develop skills that are increasingly the mainstay of software engineering. Also, while the course is founded on strong traditional and cutting-edge software engineering know-how, such as programming, maths and statistical knowledge, you’ll also investigate ethics, social responsibility and cognitive psychology throughout your studies.
You’ll graduate with the in-demand skills of ideation, design thinking, project and time management, and interpersonal communication. Working in teams, you’ll develop collaboration, negotiation and research skills that you’ll take with you to the professional environment, where teamwork and leadership are core to this industry. On graduation, you’ll be ready to lead teams yourself and manage exciting creative AI projects. And you’ll be on your way to working at the forefront of AI, anywhere in the world.
