The British Academy International Fellowships Programme 2025 is now open for early career researchers looking to gain international experience and advance their research careers.

This prestigious fellowship offers a unique chance to conduct high-quality, innovative research in collaboration with UK institutions.

Program Overview

The British Academy International Fellowships support outstanding early career researchers in establishing themselves as independent scholars. Awardees will work on specialized research topics that contribute to groundbreaking discoveries and impact global academia.

From 2025 onwards, fellows will be salaried employees rather than visiting researchers, ensuring better financial and institutional support. The host institution will determine the salary, and additional funding will be provided for research and relocation costs.
