    During your interview, you should be prepared to talk about your PhD or any other relevant qualifications you have undertaken. Questions may vary by industry but expect to discuss what you have learned from your previous jobs, and how you would bring that knowledge to the table.

    Educational requirements

    tist applicants will ideally have studied statistics or mathematics academically. Where it is not essential, candidates with PhD qualifications are preferred for high-level Data Science roles or more research-based roles. An MSc in a relevant Data Science field along with a number of years commercial experience will be just as desirable for some clients, it’s important to assess the nature of the company whether it’s research/academic heavy or more real-world problems such as eCommerce or Finance industries.

Top Tip

"A very important tip is to only write on your CV what you are actually able to do. It is easy to list multiple different technologies within Data Science that you have come across but you’ll get found out quickly."
