Description
The Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (ILCS) at the University of London’s School of Advanced Study offers a range of Visiting Fellowships and Scholarships for scholars and early-career researchers working in fields relevant to the Institute. These fellowships provide access to a vibrant academic community, world-class resources such as the British Library and Senate House Library, and opportunities to participate in events, conferences, and seminars. The program is designed to foster scholarly research, debate, and collaboration among an international network of researchers across major language areas.
Fellowships and scholarships are typically non-stipendiary, meaning they do not provide salary or living expenses, but some specific named fellowships (e.g., Sylvia Naish, Bithell, Miller) offer limited funding for research in Germanic studies or exile studies. Fellows are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Institute, present their work, and engage with the broader academic community.
