The supply of AI programs at both bachelor’s and master’s levels is dragging behind a surge in interest from students, new research has shown.
The Studyportals Subject Opportunities for 2024 report found that Artificial Intelligence has a high relative insufficiency at both levels, while other digital and technology courses are also scarce with demand.
At the masters level, AI courses are joined by Data Science & Big Data, and Robotics to have the highest relative insufficiency. For bachelors, the research found that User Experience Design and European Law, together with AI, have the highest relative shortage of programs.
The data is collected by page views on specific program detail pages across Studyportals platforms and those figures are used as an indicator of student concern.
