About Faculty

Faculty transforms organisational performance through safe, impactful and human‑centric AI. With more than a decade of experience, we provide over 350 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, you’ll 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. 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, fellows learn how to apply their technical knowledge towards the application of data science, and are paired with project companies for a seven‑week data‑science project, during which they are paid the London Living Wage. The finale of the fellowship is Demo Day, where fellows present their work to an audience of 100+ guests and network with hiring managers and influential individuals from leading companies across London, the UK and Europe.
