Welcome visiting scholars

Visiting scholars, fellows, associates from other institutions play an important role in the development of research, teaching and collaboration.

The Faculty is able to host visiting academics as Visiting Scholars when there already exists a well-developed, professional working relationship between the visitor and a member of the Faculty. We regret, however, that we are unable to consider Visiting Scholar requests when the applicant does not have support and endorsement by an academic member of the Faculty.

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 Research Groups and Centres.

Applications must be made by the member of staff who will act as the host, at least 8 weeks before the start of the visiting period.

Bench Fee

The bench fee for Visiting Scholars is £350/month excluding VAT, with a minimum bench fee of £350 (excl. VAT) payable. The bench fee for Visiting Post-Doctoral Scholars may be waived in exceptional circumstances.

Overseas academic visitors need to be aware of possible visa requirements. For up to date advice and information see the UK Border Agency website.

General information can be found at the University's page Newcomer and Visiting Scholars.
