DeepMind Fellowships

Computer Science and Engineering is proud to offer a DeepMind Fellowship for (MS) Fall 2025! 

     

These fellowships were made possible by a recent generous gift from DeepMind, a London-based leader in artificial intelligence (AI) research and how it’s applied in the real world. UC San Diego is currently one of just three universities in the United States, and one of five in North America, selected to participate in this program.

Masters Fellowship

The Master's Fellowships are designed to support machine learning (ML) masters students. Students from cultural, racial, linguistic, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds and genders who are underrepresented in ML graduate education are encouraged to apply. DeepMind Fellows receive two-year fellowships that cover tuition along with a stipend, a travel grant, funding to use towards housing, and access to a DeepMind mentor.
