Chevening Scholarships- LSE Ongoing

Scholarship Overview

The successful applicants of the Chevening LSE Fellowship are allowed to go on a defined research project at London School of Economics and Political Science(LSE) for a duration of either 3, six or 9 months. Fellows are placed in a department, institute, or center within LSE that matches their areas of study and are provided with an advisor. Assumedly, during the period of affiliation with the LSE, fellows undertake their research and are required to submit a paper, which is then presented at the LSE at the conclusion of the fellowship period. However, where relevant and within reason, fellow members may also be permitted to attend and audit a few lectures (with the understanding of the lecturer) as well as other related seminars and discussion forums at LSE.
