Africa Hub Visiting PhD fellowships
On an annual basis, The Africa Hub offers a number of visiting PhD fellowships for students registered at African universities.
The purpose of the fellowships are:
- To provide opportunities to outstanding current PhD students registered at African universities to access facilities, networks or other opportunities that will be transformative for their current research and/or future career development.
- To consolidate existing research ties between Warwick academics and collaborators based in African universities.
- To help support Warwick's developing African Partnership Strategy.
Fellowships can be held for any duration of up to 12 months (there is no minimum duration).
The application process for this round has now closed. Applications will open again in early 2026.
Eligibility and application process
Applications will be completed and submitted by colleagues at Warwick willing to act as a host supervisor throughout the duration of the fellowship and will require the support of both the Warwick head of department and either the home supervisor or the home head of department.
Full details, including the guidelines and an application form are found on this page (requires a Warwick log-in).

Musarshiru Bbuye, PGR, Makerere University, Uganda

"My time at Warwick has been transformative. I will take home memories of a warm and intellectually stimulating environment that called for hard working. I have enhanced my skills in sharing knowledge and ideas through student interactions, seminars and workshops among researchers from diverse disciplines. I also deeply value the friendships I formed with other PhD students as well as the opportunity to move around England, such as visiting Westminster Abbey, London and other important places. I would srongly encourage any PhD student registered at the African Institution with relevant interests to apply."
