At University of Cambridge Professional and Continuing Education (PACE), we’re on a mission to unlock global access to high-impact, work-relevant education. That’s why we’re proud to reaffirm our partnership with FourthRev, our innovation partner in delivering the Data Science With Machine Learning & AI Career Accelerator, a programme designed to prepare learners for real-world roles in today’s digital economy.

A new name. A shared commitment.

Our evolution from ICE to PACE reflects our growing focus on flexible, future-ready education. But while the name has changed, our mission has not. Our Career Accelerators, co-designed with industry leaders and delivered by Cambridge academics, remain at the heart of that commitment.

A Career Accelerator built for impact

Since its launch in 2024, our flagship programme in Data Science has already supported over 300 ambitious professionals from more than 25 countries to gain in-demand skills and advance their careers.

Co-created by Professional and Continuing Education and FourthRev, the Data Science With Machine Learning & AI Career Accelerator empowers professionals to master high-demand capabilities, from Python and ML to statistical modelling and communication for business impact.

But this is more than just an online course.

It’s a seven-month, part-time, fully online programme designed to help learners gain practical experience, build a professional portfolio, and accelerate their career trajectory.

Key features include:

  • A live employer project with leading organisations such as the Bank of England
  • Cambridge academic instruction backed by real-world application
  • Personalised support from industry mentors, career coaches and success managers
  • No exams, instead, learners build a portfolio of job-ready, assessed projects
  • Global, flexible and asynchronous, designed to fit your life, not the other way around
     

Since launching, the programme has supported hundreds of learners across 25+ countries to successfully transition, advance or launch their careers in data.

Why FourthRev?

FourthRev brings deep experience in building career-focused, university-backed programmes that blend academic rigour with applied learning. The Career Accelerator model was designed specifically to bridge the gap between education and employability, a gap traditional courses too often miss.

Together, we’re shaping a new standard for what professional education can and should be.

Your data career starts here

Whether you’re changing careers, upskilling in your current role or entering the field for the first time, the Data Science With Machine Learning & AI Career Accelerator gives you the skills, support, and credibility to move forward with confidence.
