RSM UK launches data skills programme

RSM UK has unveiled a firm-wide extensive digital upskilling programme, a key part of which includes an MSc in data analytics. The fully accredited degree, in partnership with BPP University, will form part of a substantial investment in data analytics skills.

The firm will welcome its first cohort onto the MSc in January 2022. The MSc will cover programming and modelling for data analysis as well as emerging technology and automation, and is being offered to staff and partners across the firm.

RSM UK’s chief digital office, Chris Knowles, said: “We want to give everyone at RSM the opportunity to build their data analytics and digital skills, enabling them to excel in their careers and deliver the best possible digital services to our clients. Demand for digital skills has never been greater, and being able to story-tell with data is the absolute foundation of all other digital skills investments we are making. We need to empower our workforce to respond to the rapidly changing needs of our clients and the digital workplace.”
