The Future of Data Science Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Data science has rapidly evolved into one of the most important disciplines of the 21st century. Once a niche field combining elements of statistics and computer science, it is now at the heart of decision-making across industries. Businesses, governments, and charities rely on data scientists to uncover insights, forecast trends, and build predictive models that shape strategy. In the UK, data science has become central to economic growth. From the NHS using data to improve patient outcomes to financial institutions modelling risk, the applications are endless.
