TAIG offers two routes into the DPhil Studentships:
Track I: Direct DPhil Route
Applicants propose a project aligned with technical AI governance to either the Department of Computer Science or the Department of Engineering Science. Successful candidates are matched with technical and policy co-supervisors and supported by AIGI throughout their DPhil. Coursework is optional and tailored to individual needs.
Track II: AIMS-Integrated Route
Candidates apply to Oxford’s prestigious Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems (AIMS) Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) programme, through either the Department of Computer Science or the Department of Engineering Science, which includes one year of advanced technical coursework. AIGI then matches AIMS researchers to high-priority governance projects and provides co-supervision.
Both tracks receive identical research support, training opportunities, and integration into the AIGI community.
