The Data Lab MSc Placement Programme Launch Event - 8th December @ 12pm
For the 5th consecutive year MBN are delighted to be the delivery partners for The Data Lab’s MSc Placement Programme.
Following the success of the Programme, we are looking to place even more students into industry than before and are hosting a virtual event to give organisations all the information that they need to take part in the Programme. We aim to give an overview of the Programme and answer any questions that you may have.
We are looking for industrial placement opportunities for 160 MSc Students. We have partnered with The Data Lab to provide 8 – 12 weeks summer placements in Scottish organisations as an option to all students on the Programme.
This collaborative Programme covers 29 Data Science and AI courses across 12 Scottish Universities.
The rules of the Programme have slightly changed this year- all placements need to have the ability to be undertaken on a remote basis. This opens the opportunity for SME’s/ start-ups, or even those with limited office space to get involved.
During this event, previous Host Organisations will share their experience with the Programme. We will also hear from a previous student who will you insight into her experience.
