Visiting Scholars and Students

The School of Law University of Glasgow operates a Visiting Scholar Scheme with periods up to 12 months' residency available.

The aim of the scheme is to discuss and share ideas with another academic in our school who works within the same field of interest. From this mutual collaboration may come ideas and, possibly, future projects.We accept visiting academics from a wide range of backgrounds and research fields. They can be either supported by their institutions or self-funded. However we can accept some PhD students provided they wish to visit the School to spend time collaborating with other academics and not as a formal element of their study programme. Students who require formal supervision must apply through the graduate school.

Anyone wishing to work as a Visiting Scholar in the School of Law should send a short letter or e-mail to:

Ms Lilian Wright
School of Law,
University of Glasgow,
Stair Building,
Glasgow, G12 8QQ

  1. the specific dates you wish to visit
  2. explain briefly the work that you wish you to do in Glasgow
  3. how the trip is to be financed.
  4.  a short CV (no more than 2 pages)
