There is a huge skills gap in the United Kingdom’s workforce when it comes to data science and artificial intelligence. The Government’s Digital Skills strategy states that within the next 20 years, 90 per cent of all jobs will require some element of digital skills, with data science pinpointed as a priority area for investment.
Data Science for Artificial Intelligence PgD and MSc routes offer training on a specific set of data science skills involving computer vision, cloud computing and generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as large language models (for example, ChatGPT).
The UK has positioned itself as a global leader in AI and data science, with government initiatives such as the AI Sector Deal and the National Data Strategy emphasising the importance of these fields. However, despite this focus, there remains a significant skills gap.
According to the UK Government 2021 AI Roadmap, the demand for AI and data science professionals far outpaces the supply. The need for experts in machine learning, AI-driven communication, and data analytics is critical, as companies across sectors struggle to find qualified candidates.
These skills are also in high demand internationally, so the course will be attractive to international students wishing to study in the UK.
