The University of St Andrews is pleased to announce that our annual call of the Global Fellowship Scheme is now open and accepting applications for visits taking place during the 2025/26 academic year.
Now in its seventh, the Global Fellowship Scheme stands as the University's flagship initiative for welcoming distinguished international researchers and educators to St Andrews. This programme offers a unique opportunity to engage in all aspects of intellectual life at the University and foster enduring global partnerships. The scheme provides awards to talented scholars from around the globe to spend up to one month in St Andrews, Scotland. During this time, Global Fellows will be able to undertake a course of research and study, explore potential collaborations, enhance existing relationships, advance research work and find the space to think in an inspirational environment.
Applicants to the scheme should be recognised as established scholars in their field or emerging leaders who have made a contribution to original research that extends the frontier of knowledge. Global Fellows will be expected to engage virtually with students and colleagues throughout the 2025-2026 academic year and participate in one visit of up to four weeks between 1 August 2025 and 31 July 2026. The University provides all awardees with a stipend during their visit, self-catered accommodation, return airfare, and airport transfers.
The deadline for applications is 3 March 2025.
Please see the Global Fellowship web page and flyer attached for more information about applying, or contact globalfellows@st-andrews.ac.uk.
We would be incredibly grateful if you could share this opportunity with the relevant academic members of staff at your institution.
