About Faculty

Faculty transforms organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-led AI.

We are Europe’s leading applied AI company, and saw its potential a decade ago - long before the current hype cycle.

We founded in 2014 with our Fellowship programme, training academics to become commercial data scientists.

Today, we provide over 300 global customers with industry-leading software, and bespoke AI consultancy for retail, healthcare, energy, and governmental organisations, as well as our award winning Fellowship.

Our expertise and safety credentials are such that OpenAI asked us to be their first technical partner, helping customers deploy cutting-edge generative AI safely.

Our high-impact work has saved lives through forecasting NHS demand during covid, produced green energy by routing boats towards the wind, slashed marketing spend by predicting customer spending habits, and kept children safe online.

AI is an epoch-defining technology. We want people to join us who can help our customers reap its enormous benefits safely.

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.
