AI scholarship boost for University of York
July 26, 2023
Julian was very pleased to receive the news from the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology that the University of York has received funding for scholarships as part of the government’s AI and Data Science Conversion Course programme.
The University of York will receive £610,000 in government scholarship funding for the 2023-24 academic year. Further funding for 2024-25 remains subject to confirmation.
AI is one of the biggest commercial opportunities in today’s fast changing economy, but the AI skills gap is hampering our ability to realise this opportunity.
This scholarship funding can widen the AI talent pool so that businesses across the UK including in Yorkshire are able to access the AI talent they need.
