Apply Now

A rare and exceptional opportunity has opened up for international students seeking to shape the future of Artificial Intelligence. Applications are now being invited for a fully-funded 3-year PhD studentship at the Department of Computer Science, City, University of London, under the prestigious City St George initiative. This pioneering programme is co-funded by UK Innovation and the global EdTech leader BHE Uni.

This scholarship offers a unique chance to join a cutting-edge research project focused on developing an AI-powered conversational interview system designed to revolutionise university admissions. The research aims to replace traditional, often subjective interview methods with a more fair, efficient, and unbiased AI-driven alternative.

About the PhD Project

The successful candidate will work on building a state-of-the-art AI system that leverages:

Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) to conduct real-time, adaptive interviews.

Multimodal Analysis, including tone of voice, facial expressions, and sentiment analysis, for holistic candidate evaluation.

Automated Ranking Algorithms that align with university-specific selection criteria.

Bias mitigation strategies to ensure fairness and objectivity in AI-assisted decision-making.

Real-world testing using actual university admissions data, ensuring meaningful impact and practical value.

This PhD will make a significant contribution to both the academic field and the higher education sector by exploring how AI can enhance ethical decision-making in admissions and improve access for underrepresented candidates.
