Chevening LSE Fellowship 2026–27 – Fully Funded Research at LSE for Mid-Career Professionals: (Deadline 7 October 2025)
The Chevening LSE Fellowship is a prestigious, fully funded programme hosted by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). It gives mid-career professionals an exceptional chance to undertake research at LSE for 3, 6, or 9 months.
Fellowship Structure & Highlights
- Conduct a defined research project under guidance from a faculty advisor.
- Join relevant university departments or institutes aligned with your research interests.
- Present your final paper at LSE upon completion.
- Access to seminars, discussion groups, and lecture auditing (where permitted).
Who Should Apply?
- Mid-career professionals, ideally with a postgraduate degree or equivalent experience.
- Candidates with a minimum of five years of relevant professional experience, or PhD candidates (not enrolled in UK/EU/US institutions).
- Able to secure a host supervisor, adhere to guidelines, and commit to returning to home country post-fellowship.
- Not British citizens or employees of UK government institutions.
Funding & Benefits
- Full coverage of programme fees.
- Living expenses for the fellowship duration.
- Return economy airfare to the UK (specifically noted for China applicants).
- Additional allowances for research-related activities and access to cultural events organized by FCDO and the Chevening Secretariat.
Application Timeline & Eligibility
- Deadline: 7 October 2025, 12:00 UTC.
- Applicants typically apply through national Chevening offices (e.g., British Embassies).
- Open to applicants in China with hopes of expanding to other regions aligned with LSE and FCDO priorities.
Why It Stands Out
- Offers a rare opportunity for immersive, short-term research at a world-renowned institution.
- Designed for active professionals who may not be able to commit to year-long postgraduate degrees.
- Combines academic rigor with professional flexibility—ideal for world-facing leaders and policy influencers.
- Scholars gain exposure to LSE’s dynamic intellectual ecosystem and Chevening’s global leadership network.
