Visitors and Visiting Fellows
The Dept. of Politics, History and International Relations, in association with its research centre, the Centre for the Study of International Governance, welcomes visitors who may wish to spend time at Loughborough. We have a long history of hosting colleagues from universities and research organisations around the world, often in relation to major projects and welcome suggestions for collaborative projects which can be facilitated by such visits. Arrangements can be made for short periods of a few weeks to formal visiting fellowships of several months. In all cases, we provide appropriate facilities for visitors and encourage them to participate in the work of the Department and Centre. Enquiries should be directed in the first instance to the Head of Department, Chris Szejnmann or alternatively please fill in the enquiry form.
