Program Overview
There is a huge skills gap in the UK workforce when it comes to data science and artificial intelligence. The Government’s Digital Skills strategy estimates 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.
At the same time, the agriculture, food and environment sectors are experiencing a radical shift in demand for data scientists, thanks to applications in agri-tech, and smart farming and a large surge in demand for general skills using big data and open data across the sector through 2030. At the same time, there is a huge demand for data-driven solutions for best-practice solutions for conservation and environment issues that are compatible with the future of farming. This new course, the first and only of its kind in the UK, seeks to address these challenges.
This course is ideal for candidates with a background in agriculture, food science, or in wildlife, conservation and environmental science, or for someone from a data science background that wishes to enter one of these subject areas. Our flexible programme consists of core training in data science tools and further specialised training, so that you can choose your own path: help agri-food companies make smarter business decisions, or use data to solve important conservation challenges.
