The world of research has always been evolving, but with AI, it is accelerating dramatically. AI is reshaping every stage of insight, from reducing the heavy lifting of analysis to uncovering insights through machine learning. While AI is a powerful tool, it still depends on intelligent professionals to question, interpret and validate its outputs . You don't need to become a data scientist, but you do need to understand the latest AI tools and be able to translate AI insights into meaningful actions.
That's why our 2026 Training Programme for autumn includes 13 AI-focused courses, alongside 50+ expert-led training sessions covering the essential skills you need to stay up to date in today's landscape. Explore the new programme and equip yourself with the confidence and knowledge to thrive in the next generation of insight.
