The British High Commission has announced the commencement of applications for the renowned Chevening Fellowships, providing journalists, scholars, and mid-career experts from Pakistan a chance to gain invaluable experience at top UK institutions.
According to a statement from the British High Commission in Islamabad, the Chevening South Asian Journalism Programme Fellowship is set to be an intensive eight-week course hosted by the University of Westminster. This program is tailored for seasoned journalists from South Asia, enabling them to sharpen their professional skills, engage with the UK’s vibrant media industry, and create lasting regional alliances.
Simultaneously, the Chevening Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) Fellowship offers a six-month scholarly journey at Oxford University. Aimed at mid-career professionals and academics, this initiative delves into global dilemmas through the prism of Islamic thought, diplomacy, and policy, fostering a deeper understanding of international relations and interfaith discourse.
British High Commissioner Jane Marriott CMG, OBE, hailed these fellowships as transformative opportunities. She remarked, ‘Beyond studying at world-class institutions, participants become part of a dynamic global network of Chevening alumni who are pioneers in their respective fields. It’s more than a fellowship – it’s a springboard for future innovators.’
Prospective candidates have until October 7, 2025, to submit their applications online at www.chevening.org/apply.
