Chevening Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Fellowship (OCIS) and OCIS Abdullah Gül Fellowship

The Chevening OCIS Fellowships are research fellowships hosted by the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. They provide mid-career academics and professionals with a period of self-directed research focusing on Islamic culture, civilisation, and contemporary Muslim societies, along with access to cultural events and a structured programme. There are two fellowships: the standard Chevening OCIS Fellowship and the Abdullah Gül Fellowship for Turkish citizens.

Living expenses, return economy airfare, research allowance, and access to cultural events and activities.

Applicants must be mid-career academics or professionals with leadership potential, and must be a citizen of one of the eligible countries listed in the Fellowship criteria; applicants must return to their country of citizenship after the fellowship and have a postgraduate qualification or equivalent experience; English proficiency is required.

Submit an application through the Chevening OCIS Fellowships portal, including a short research proposal and required documents.
