Graduate Funding
There are two routes to be funded by EIT Oxford to study a full-time DPhil/PhD at the University of Oxford.
Contribute substantively and meaningfully to the EIT projects as an EIT Graduate Student
EIT Oxford provides fully-funded doctoral (DPhil/PhD) study at the University of Oxford, where students’ research is directly tied to their work on an EIT project. These projects tackle global challenges through cutting-edge technology, offering graduate students the chance to collaborate with world-leading experts to develop innovative solutions.
This highly competitive programme is looking for exceptionally talented individuals with the skills to contribute significantly to our projects. Expertise in fields such as AI, computer science, mathematics, robotics, engineering, biology and chemistry is highly valued, though applicants with other relevant skills are also welcome.
More information on EIT projects, supervisors and the application route will be published in May 2025.
Apply for a place on the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Fundamentals of AI
Students on the EIT Centre for Doctoral Training in Fundamentals of AI will undertake foundational research in the underpinning theory and method development of artificial intelligence and machine learning that have the potential to have a transformative impact across EIT’s four humane endeavours: health and medical science, food security and sustainable agriculture, climate change and green energy; and government innovation in the era of artificial intelligence.
The programme provides training in both cutting-edge AI research methodologies and the development of business and transferrable skills. Students will undertake a significant, challenging and original research project, leading to the award of a DPhil (PhD).
The programme, funded by EIT Oxford, has up to 20 fully-funded studentships available for UK and international applicants. The application and selection process for the EIT CDT programme is managed by the University of Oxford’s admission team.
