Tell Me About The Award:

The Global Fellowship Scheme is designed to foster international academic collaboration and innovation by bringing scholars to engage with the University of St Andrews’ world-class academic community.

Global Fellows are expected to contribute to the scholarly community at St Andrews. This includes interacting with a wide range of staff and students, and participating in the scholarly activities of Academic Schools, Centres and Institutes, both virtually and in person throughout the 2025-2026 academic year.
