Registration is now open for the British Academy Visiting Fellowships Programme 2025 . The British Academy Visiting Fellowships programme offers outstanding academics based in any overseas country the opportunity to study at a UK higher education institution or other research institution. The programme is open to academics at any career stage and in any discipline of the humanities and social sciences.
Visiting fellowships illustrate the British Academy's deep and continuing commitment to international engagement. The aim of this programme is to ensure that the UK remains an attractive, welcoming and productive research environment for academics from all over the world. Through this programme, the Academy aims to:
- Improve and build new links between academics from around the world and the UK;
- Promote opportunities and encourage the development of new and future partnerships for collaborative research in the humanities and social sciences;
- Enable academics from all over the world to carry out research and/or professional development with colleagues from the UK;
- And to strengthen the UK's research bases in the humanities and social sciences.
