Visiting Academics
We're a global university – we welcome visiting academics, scholars and researchers from institutions around the world.
There are many reasons to work with us at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú – from our outstanding facilities to our award-winning research.
How to apply
Joining us as a visiting scholar, academic or researcher takes a few simple steps.
Step 1
You need someone to propose you as a visiting scholar from your current institution. Your proposer should send your CV and a covering letter to the Dean of the relevant Faculty at the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú.
Your covering letter needs to explain how your research overlaps with our research priorities and existing expertise.
If you're not currently based at a university, you'll need to supply 3 referees with your initial submission.
Step 2
After reviewing your CV and covering letter, the Dean will make a recommendation.
Step 3
If your application requires it, you may be invited to attend an interview.
Step 4
Once your application is accepted, we'll discuss your duties as a visiting member of staff. Your duties will be clearly defined and will include visiting the University for teaching activities, research work or a combination of both. There will also be a clear agreement regarding the intellectual property rights to any work you do while you're here.
Step 5
You'll need to obtain the right to work in the UK and sort out accommodation for when you arrive in ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú. For more information, please visit our 'Arriving from overseas' page.
