A new scholarship aimed at developing the next
generation of artificial intelligence “pioneers” will open to
applicants in spring 2026, with the first cohort beginning studies
the following autumn.
The Sparck AI scholarships, named after pioneering
British computer scientist Karen Sparck Jones, will give master’s
degree university students access to industry-leading firms as the
Government looks to boost the UK’s AI credentials.
The University of Bristol will be one of nine universities
to offer the fully-funded Government scholarship, alongside
faculties in Newcastle, Manchester and Edinburgh.
The scheme has been developed in line with the
Government’s “AI Opportunities Action Plan”, receiving more
than £17 million of funding from Westminster, with the grant
covering both students’ tuition and living costs.
Alongside master’s places, 100 scholars will receive
placements in leading AI companies, as well as mentorship from
industry experts. It is hoped the scholarships will give students
“unparalleled access” to the fast-moving industry.
Vice-Chancellor Evelyn Welch said the scholarships
would give Bristol the chance to “explore bold new ideas and
nurture exceptional talent.” Technology Secretary Peter Kyle MP
said he believed the scheme would help students secure “highly
skilled jobs” and build “a workforce fit for the future.” AI talent
acquisition firm Beamery said the scholarships would help their
goal to create “equal access to work” and connect “talent to
opportunity”.
