Valued by employers
By the time students leave the Edinburgh Futures Institute they will experience working with other students, academics and employers from different disciplinary areas and sectors.
“Graduates will have been introduced to broad networks of people. Working in partnership is integral to each course. We work really closely with partner organisations in industry, community and government, so our students can have access to those networks by the time they graduate,” says Professor Sian Bayne, Director of Education at the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI).
“They will have developed the kind of confidence to take real risks with the way they approach problems but to take those risks responsibly. For example, we’re teaching students how to use and understand data-driven decision-making and inquiry but we’re also teaching students about the ethical and social implications of such methods. The impact of data on society is a significant and a profound challenge that we need to address sensitively and from an informed position.”
