The 2025 application for the British Academy International Fellowship program for the 2025–2027 cohort is open for interested international researchers who are passionate about joining other emerging talents in the United Kingdom to create a globally connected research force.
This application will be received by the Center for Research in Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities from qualified candidates who have met all the laid-down criteria. The deadline for this application process has been scheduled to be on February 7th, 2025.
The British Academy International Fellowship is a fully funded fellowship program in the United Kingdom designed to help international research meet the best and globally accepted standards. It also offers opportunities for networking and sharing of ideas among researchers.
The financial constraints that are often encountered by researchers may also be limited to a reasonable extent, as ways to raise finance will be sorted out, including all the expenses incurred during the process of the research. It is an opportunity no one would want to miss.
