Visiting Scholars
Visiting scholars, fellows, associates from other institutions play an important role in the development of research, teaching and collaboration.
If you are interested in becoming an academic visitor at the Faculty you will need a member of academic staff of the Faculty to host your visit. Please direct your initial enquiry to academic staff in the most relevant academic group. Please allow time for your request to be considered.
Bench Fee
The bench fee for academic visitors (including students) is £500 (+ VAT at the current rate) for up to two months and a further £250 (+ VAT) per month thereafter. In some circumstances a higher fee may be agreed. The bench fee may be waived, at the Director of Research and Head of Faculty’s discretion, when the visitor is making a direct contribution to teaching or to a research project.
Overseas academic visitors need to be aware of possible visa requirements. For up to date advice and information see the UK Border Agency website.
