The Windsor Fellowship is working with University College London (UCL) to offer a scholarship funded by DeepMind to students who will be undertaking the MSc Neuroscience at UCL for 2023/24, and who have an interest in AI. This MSc programme is heavily oversubscribed, therefore students interested in this scholarship are advised to apply as early as possible.
The DeepMind Scholarships are positive action initiatives to help UCL ensure that it can attract and support students from all sections of the community, particularly groups that are under-represented in post-graduate studies.
DeepMind Neuroscience Scholarships will cover tuition fees in full and provide a £18,000 maintenance stipend. Additionally, £2,200 is provided to cover attendance at relevant academic conferences (either in person or virtually). A further £1,700 is provided as an equipment grant.
