A program called DeepMind Scholarships at Queen Mary University of London aims to encourage and support underrepresented groups to pursue postgraduate degrees in computer science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Because female and/or black students are currently underrepresented in certain fields of study, the DeepMind Scholarships are for them.
About Queen Mary University of London
East London’s Mile End is home to the public research institution known as Queen Mary University of London (QMUL, or simply QM; formerly Queen Mary and Westfield College). It belongs to the federal University of London family. In the 1880s, East London College sponsored a charitable project that started teaching at Mile End. In 1915, the College was accepted to the University of London and given the new name Queen Mary College in honor of Mary of Teck. In 1989, the College combined with the University of London institution Westfield College to become Queen Mary and Westfield College.
For the quality (GPA) of its research, QMUL was placed ninth in the UK among institutions with multiple faculties. According to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, the Department of Linguistics was ranked first in the UK, fifth in the UK for research output quality, and 20th overall for research power.
According to analyses by The Guardian and The Times Higher Education Supplement, Queen Mary was ranked 11th and 13th, respectively, out of the 132 institutions that participated in the UK Research Assessment Exercise, which had results released in December 2008. The largest star among the research-intensive universities, according to The Times Higher, was the Queen Mary University of London, which rose 35 positions from 48th in the Times Higher Education table in 2001 to 13th in 2008.
