Chevening LSE fellowship is a fully funded Fellowship in UK which is jointly funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office. Through various research fellowship programs, the British Embassy and Consulates-General in China collaborate closely with leading Chinese and UK universities to assist the professional growth of mid-career fellows in significant areas. The United Kingdom is one of the world’s most diverse nations which has a rich history of welcoming foreign visitors and students. Students are exposed to a wide range of cultures, opinions, and experiences while living and studying in the UK.
The Chevening LSE Fellowship for PhD students enables participants to work at LSE for up to three, six, or nine months on a specific research topic. According to their areas of interest in research, fellows are welcomed in a department, institute, or centre at LSE and are given an adviser to work with.
In this fully funded fellowship in Europe, applications from all fields of social sciences are welcome, with a focus on public diplomacy, public policy and administration, international relations, and challenges related to development, the social sciences, and the environment.
