To coincide with The Data Lab’s 10th-anniversary celebrations, we are highlighting a new set of alumni for 2024, celebrating the inspiring careers of twenty of our data and AI graduates in Scotland.

Twenty alumni from The Data Lab’s student development programme have been selected in recognition of their inspiring careers in the data and AI sector and the support they have offered The Data Lab and over 1,000 alumni.

The Data Lab Academy is designed for students enrolled in one of our approved MSc courses in data and AI. The professional development programme includes workshops, networking events, masterclasses, and also a residential innovation challenge to support students as they transition into data and AI careers.

Students earn digital badges in networking, employability, ethics as well as innovation skills by participating in the extracurricular programme alongside their studies. The programme also offers the opportunity to apply for a paid industrial placement, putting students in an ideal position to get the best possible job after graduation.

Applications for funded courses starting in February/May are still open for the 2024/2025 academic year. If you are a student wanting to get involved, you can click here to learn more about the eligible programmes and how to apply.

Our student placement programme is open to any Scottish organisation looking to add state-of-the-art data and AI expertise to their organisation.
