The University of Oxford is delighted to launch a new Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Fundamentals of AI. The goal of the CDT is to undertake foundational developments in fundamentals of AI that have potential to impact within four humane themes; health and medical science; food security and sustainable agriculture; climate change and clean energy; and government innovation in the era of artificial intelligence.
The CDT will recruit 20 students per year and we have full-funding available for home and overseas candidates. Admissions are now open for entry to the programme in September 2025. Please see our website for further information.
