"It has given me the confidence in myself to know that I do have the research skills to carry a project for three or four years." "After this programme, pursuing a Master's and a PhD seems a lot more reachable for me." "It turbocharged my thought process and I'm now strongly thinking about coming to Cambridge in the future to do my doctorate." These are just some of the comments from students who took part in the Google DeepMind Research Ready programme in the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology in 2025. Hear more about their experiences in this video.
The Research Ready programme is running again in the summer of 2026 and is open to students from backgrounds under-represented in AI. Applications are now open and close on 16 February 2026. For full details, see cst.cam.ac.uk/outreach/deepmind-research-ready
The 2026 Research placements are supported by Google DeepMind, the Hg Foundation and the Royal Academy of Engineering under the Google DeepMind Research Ready scheme. They have also been made possible by support from Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge. Our thanks to them all.
