The IT world changed radically in 2013 and the IT we have been taught for 30 years is now obsolete. It continues to change in a way that shakes economies and companies to their foundations
Coming to a course that teaches the basic Machine Learning techniques of Supervised and Unsupervised Learning, and Recommendation Systems and Graph Processing will get you entry to the global club of Up to Date people.
Follow it up with the really exciting application of these techniques to Sentiment Analysis and Text Recommendation Engines, GPU Cluster Computing and Massive Simulations and Deep Learning and suddenly you are very attractive to employers and your peers all over the world..
Demand for all these skills worldwide is enormous so you can choose what you would like to specialise in either as an Academic, as a Highly Paid Employee or Civil Servant or as an Entrepreneur or even all three.

Innovation Incubation and Start-ups
All the application areas described above are shortage areas worldwide so start-ups who have the skills will be highly marketable.
If there is the demand we will bring in someone from the Digital Catapult in UK who has sold four companies so far
English Language Teaching
We will investigate with British Council how we can get you some Technical English Boot camp and use the automatic translation facilities of Deep Learning to help
Student Funding
We will look into how we can set up a loan scheme to help you pay for training that you can repay from your salary once you get a new job
