Teesside University is offering 20 scholarships, each worth £10,000, if you are an eligible student studying a conversion MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence or MSc Applied Data Science. There are 20 scholarships to be split between our London and Middlesbrough campuses.

You may be eligible if you have no background in these or related subject areas, as part of the Office for Students' response to the shortage of data science and AI specialists in the UK. The government's digital strategy predicted that within 20 years, 90% of all jobs will require some element of digital skills.

The government aims to increase the number of people from groups currently underrepresented in the AI and data science fields, and to encourage graduates from diverse backgrounds to consider a future in these occupations.
