I chose Lancaster because of the Digital Business, Innovation and Management (DBIM) program, which emphasises Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and other emerging technologies within the Innovation and Management curriculum. I found these skills to be essential in the current hiring market trend.
