You are invited to apply after you have accepted an offer (conditional or unconditional) of a place on one of the courses below:
MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence
MSc Applied Data Science
Your course offer includes your student ID, which you need to enter on your scholarship application. Applications received without a valid student ID will not be considered.
Applications will be judged by a panel. Only candidates who have accepted an unconditional offer will be considered. The panel's decisions are final, and they are not obliged to provide reasons for their decisions.

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.
