DeepMind Scholarships
DeepMind and the University of Edinburgh’s School of Informatics have formed a partnership to support students undertaking the MSc in Artificial Intelligence programme. Scholarships will cover tuition fees and provide a stipend to cover maintenance and other living costs. Equipment and travel grants will be available during the programme. A relocation grant may also be awarded to international recipients.
In addition, recipients will benefit from mentoring from DeepMind staff during their programme of study. The scholarships place no obligations on the recipients, other than to undertake the MSc in Artificial Intelligence in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh and to meet with their mentors.
