Data Scientist Placement

Job Description

The Role

Working as part of a small team, you will help address the challenges of big data for the modern business.

The role specifically involves being part of project teams undertaking Business Intelligence related projects and solutions. The position is varied and will offer the potential to get involved in many areas of our projects, including Database design and build, software architecture and build, and data migration and integration. There will be flexibility to work on several projects, across numerous industries, giving a well-rounded introduction to the BI industry. Additionally, you will be expected to undertake several extra internal responsibilities that assist the management team in company development.

We’re looking for a dynamic individual with exceptional interpersonal skills who is passionate about the industry and eager to learn new skills. The successful candidate may be offered a permanent, graduate position on conditional completion of their final year.

"My placement year at TTUK&I was a truly rewarding experience which was made even better by the great

company culture. I got to work across multiple real-world projects with different clients throughout the year

alongside the best people in the industry. I developed not only my technical skill-set but my personal skills too,

thanks to the great training and support provided by the Adatis team. I strongly encourage anyone who is

looking to apply!" -Alex Kordabacheh, Portsmouth University, Business Information Systems

The Requirements

You will have completed your second year at University and seeking a 1 year industry placement. Whilst a degree in a related area is desirable, we will consider candidates who demonstrate a genuine passion for data analytics.

Whilst we adopt a flexible approach to working, you can expect to spend your working time at our offices in London or Farnham, working on client sites, or at home; so a degree of flexibility will be required.
This is a client-facing role; therefore, you must be comfortable discussing technical concepts in clear and concise language. You must have good communication skills and an ability to work to tight time scales and under pressure.

Qualifications

Training and Development

All roles include plenty of on-the-job experience. As an undergraduate, you will also enjoy technical and consulting training sessions. These will give you the skills and competencies needed to continue to provide innovative solutions to meet our clients’ needs, as well as building your confidence and experience in proactively managing client relationships.

As you progress through your career, you will have access to a variety of interactive training sessions to increase your experience and help you develop into a Consultant more quickly.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
