About Faculty
At Faculty we transform organisational performance through safe impactful and human-centric AI.
With a decade of experience we provide over 300 global customers with software bespoke AI consultancy and Fellows from our award winning Fellowship programme.
Our expert team brings together leaders from across government academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.
Should you join us youll have the chance to work with and learn from some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.
About the Fellowship
Artificial Intelligence is the most important technology of our age but it is only valuable when it is applied in the real world - enhancing products improving services and saving lives. Since 2014 Faculty has helped 400 PhD graduates post-doctoral researchers masters and experienced software engineers transition into a career in data science through our fellowship programme.
The Faculty Fellowship programme helps academics become highly-skilled data scientists and machine learning engineers transitioning successfully into careers and industries that are ready to benefit from artificial intelligence. After two weeks of intensive lectures and workshops at Faculty wherein fellows will learn how to apply their technical knowledge towards the application of data science fellows are paired with project companies for a seven-week data science project during which fellows are paid the London Living Wage.
The finale of the fellowship is Demo Day. Fellows have the opportunity to present their hard work to an audience of 100 guests. The event is a great chance to network with hiring managers and influential individuals from a wide range of businesses from London the UK and Europe.
After completing the Faculty Fellowship our alumni have gone on to work for many leading companies; from tech giants like Google Microsoft and Meta to the fastest growing startups like PhysicsX and Orbital Witness to established FTSE 100 companies such as AstraZeneca and Tesco to name a few.
