<p class="MsoPlainText">Application deadline: 23 February 2024 (We may need to stop accepting applications before this date if the number received exceeds our capacity to review.)</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Programme dates: 24 Jun - 9 Aug 2024 (London, UK)</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Programme details: www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/study-and-work/gatsby-bridging-programme</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at UCL is running the Gatsby Bridging Programme - an intensive, 7-week mathematics summer school. The programme is designed for penultimate/final-year undergraduates and Master’s students (incl.
recent graduates) who aspire to pursue a postgraduate research degree in Theoretical Neuroscience or Machine Learning but whose degree course does not have a strong mathematical focus. Participants will attend in-person lectures/tutorials/problem-solving sessions
to develop mathematics skills and intuition necessary to enter both fields and have the opportunity to interact with our researchers. </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We aim to be inclusive and to increase the diversity of students entering both fields. Thus, we strongly encourage applications from students in underrepresented groups in Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics. A limited number
of bursaries are available to students who may find it difficult to participate for financial reasons.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We would also appreciate it if you could help us reach students who may benefit from this programme. Here are some ways you can help us spread the word:</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">* Distributing the Call for Applications email among colleagues and interested students.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">* Sharing our posts on social media:</p>
