Computer Science and Engineering is proud to offer two DeepMind Fellowships for Fall 2023! (Two Masters fellowships and one PhD fellowship to be awarded for AY23-24)
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.
See current DeepMind Fellows here.
Who’s eligible: Admitted MS students specializing in Machine Learning who have demonstrated meaningful contributions to diversity and inclusion will be considered for DeepMind Fellowships.
