AI and data science scholarships, PhD positions and internships — from dedicated AI universities to data-science fellowships at international organisations.
Tips for Artificial Intelligence & Data Science applicants
- Read recent papers from the labs you target and mention them in your statement.
- A public project (paper, repository, Kaggle result) helps more than certificates.
- Check whether the programme is computer-science, statistics or engineering based.
