Greatest Opportunity to Study in UK for Free

Study in UK for free

The Chevening/British Library Fellowship is a collaboration between the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the British Library, offering international experts a year-long professional research placement.

Fellows will have the privilege of working with the extensive library's collections, and benefit from the broad range of professional expertise of library staff.

The British Library is the national library of the UK and one of the world's greatest research libraries. The British Library's collection encompasses all fields of knowledge in hundreds of languages, covering 3,500 years from some of the earliest written records to the digital collections of the present day, and range over all formats.

As a public-facing, culturally-active research institute, Chevening is pleased to partner with the British Library to bring international experts to the UK to pursue a one of a kind research opportunity.

Fellows will undertake a period of professional research at the British Library, receiving support and supervision from library staff. For the 2016/2017 academic year, two placements are on offer and will provide fellows with experience in strategic and policy work relevant to a national library. There is one placement per theme:
1. News and media in South Asia - past and present
2. Big data and libraries

As a public-facing, culturally-active, research institute, the library is able to provide a broad range of professional development opportunities for fellows. Fellows will have a unique project-based placement involving research, consultation, and strategy development, coupled with stakeholder engagement and outreach opportunities.
