Master of Artificial Intelligence (MAI)

Memorial's Master of Artificial Intelligence is a 16-month, four-term course-based programme at the St. John's campus, jointly offered by the departments of Computer Science and Computer Engineering. Core courses establish AI foundations and electives allow specialisation in robotics, machine learning or image processing. Memorial notes the programme emphasises AI with reduced focus on other computer science areas. Admission requires prerequisite coursework in linear algebra, vector calculus, statistics and computer programming. What the fee covers: the international rate. Memorial publishes a programme cost of CAD 9,666 (CAD 2,416.50 per semester over four semesters, Plan D) plus a non-refundable international special fee of CAD 20,282 (charged at CAD 5,070.50 per semester over semesters 1 to 4), which is CAD 29,948 in total. The figure shown is the 12-month equivalent of that 16-month total. Fee year: Memorial does not label an academic year on this table, so treat it as the current published schedule (the page was last updated 19 August 2026). English requirement as published: Memorial School of Graduate Studies proficiency requirements apply; the programme page states no specific scores. Before you budget: the special fee is the thing to watch. Memorial's finance page confirms the Plan D rate of CAD 2,416.50 per semester over four semesters and, separately, an international special fee of CAD 20,282 charged at CAD 5,070.50 per semester across those same four semesters. The programme page shows only '$2,416.50/semester (plus an additional special fee)' without naming the amount, so reading that page alone would leave you budgeting CAD 9,666 and out by more than three times. The honest total is CAD 29,948 for the 16-month degree, which fits inside a INR 25 lakh budget. The special fee is non-refundable. Entry, from the programme page: a four-year undergraduate degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related field with minimum Second-Class Upper standing or at least a 75% general average, plus prerequisite coursework in linear algebra, vector calculus, statistics and programming. The deadlines shown are confirmed.
