Skills needs for data scientists in the life sciences industry: shape our future curriculum

Have your say in shaping NU London’s Data Scientist degree apprenticeship.

The demand for data science skills in the life sciences is growing rapidly, but many employers find that generalist training doesn’t meet their specific needs. We’re seeking to develop a sector-focused version of the programme that bridges communications gaps and addresses skills needs by creating biology-literate data scientists.

Join us at this insightful session for lively discussion and to feed into what this future curriculum should cover.

The session will include:

  • A brief introduction to the Level 6 Data Scientist apprenticeship
  • An initial vision for a new curriculum specifically for the life sciences sector based on consultation to date
  • Interactive discussion session covering specific skills challenges and sector needs to drive innovation and future-proof teams
  • Information on next steps and how to get involved
  • Following the roundtable further information will be shared including a follow-up webinar to keep attendees informed of curriculum developments.
