Academic Visitor Programme
The Academic Visitor Programme is a key component of The City Law School’s commitment to research exchange and underscores the value placed on the exciting contributions that visitors can make.
Our Academic Visitors must have a specific research project which they will pursue during their stay. Academic Visitors are expected to stay for minimum of three months and will have access to selected library resources and to our facilities within the Law School building. Visitors are paired with an academic member of staff based on shared research interests.
This colleague acts as their mentor, and supports the visiting academic's application process. Ideally, the Academic Visitor would have received a mentorship letter to support their application, yet we can also pair the Academic Visitor with staff holding relevant expertise, provided that the specific research project is aligned with ongoing legal research at City St George's.
Please see the Law Research pages for a list of our research centres and groups and their associated academic experts. Academic Visitors are also invited to all Law School events and are expected to present their work to a supportive scholarly community. There is no teaching associated with the Academic Visitors Programme.
Please note that The City Law School does not offer any formal supervision to its visiting PhD students.
There are two types of visitors:
- Visiting Fellows: established academics, normally holding a full-time position at an academic institution.
- Visiting Scholars: early career researchers or PhD students.
The City Law School awards Distinguished Visitor status to up to two applicants each year for academics with an outstanding record of publications and an international reputation in their field of expertise. Visitors in this category will benefit from a fee waiver.
Resources available
Library services
Academic Visitors will be granted physical access to all City St George's Library sites and are entitled to use Library print resources on a reference-only basis. Academic Visitors will also have access to a limited number of the University's electronic resources at both our Law Library and through the use of a "walk-in" terminal at the Northampton Square Library.
Our Library webpages contain a list of the electronic resources available on the walk-in terminal.
We also encourage visitors to take advantage of our proximity to the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Library.
Bookable desk space
We have a number of desks which are available to all staff though an online booking system. Desks in demarcated offices can be booked for periods of 12 hours on week days.
Events
All Academic Visitors are invited to attend our faculty, external and PhD research seminars.
Length of Programme and Expectations
For Visiting Fellows, the typical duration of a visiting fellowship is twelve weeks. Academic Fellows are expected to coincide their stay with the availability of their mentor and should keep in mind the dates of any relevant events that they intend to participate in.
We expect Visiting Fellows to present their research project in a workshop advertised to the entire faculty, the organisation of which will be supported by the Programme Director.
For Visiting Scholars, the expectation for early career (post-doctoral) researchers is the same as the expectations of Visiting Fellows. For doctoral candidates, we expect the Visiting Scholar to present their PhD thesis in a workshop as part of the PhD training programme and to attend weekly research skills sessions.
As such, the Visiting Scholar doctoral candidate is required to be present during either Term 1 (September-December) or Term 2 (January-April). We do not run our PhD training sessions during the Summer months (May – August).
Visa and Accommodation
The programme can provide a Letter of Invitation, but cannot assist further with visa applications nor can we guarantee a successful outcome. Applicants should ensure that they have funding for their travel and living expenses in London.
Applicants are advised to ensure that they have adequate travel insurance and health cover in place prior to arrival in the UK. Regrettably, The City Law School cannot provide housing to Academic Visitors.
Application and Fees
All applications must be submitted electronically and include:
- The applicant’s CV
- A brief statement of interest
- A one-page description of the research project
- Two scanned academic references on official headed letter
- A declaration from the applicant confirming their proficiency in English (written and spoken)
- The email confirmation of mentorship from a City Law School academic in PDF format (if available).
Please submit all of the aforementioned application materials into ONE consolidated PDF document and email the document to the Programme Director, Dr Lijun Zhao.
The reference letters and the mentorship confirmation can alternatively be sent to the Programme Director by email from the academic or professional email account of the referee or mentor.
Once we have reviewed your application and are satisfied that you meet the requirements, we will invite you for an interview over Zoom or MS Teams with the Programme Director and relevant staff members to discuss your suitability for the programme and your research expectations.
The deadline for Visiting Scholars who are doctoral candidates are as follows:
For Term 1 (end of September-December): 30 August 2025
For Term 2 (January – April): 15 November 2025
We accept all other applications for Visiting Fellows and Visiting Scholars (post-doctoral) at any time during the year. The duration of the candidate’s stay will be negotiated in the interview process.
Fees 2025/2026
The fee is £500 for Visiting Scholars and £250 for Visiting Fellows. Fees are payable at the start of the visit.
City Law Forum
The City Law Forum is a platform for the exchange of ideas and the reporting of new developments across all areas of law. It features contributions from academics, doctoral researchers, and visiting scholars at The City Law School.
The Forum publishes three main types of content:
- Research Pieces – Present the findings of original legal research.
- Opinion Pieces – Offer personal viewpoints on current legal issues and debates.
- Current Awareness Pieces – Highlight and explain recent notable developments in the law.
The City Law Forum highlights the latest research from The City Law School's academics, doctoral researchers and visiting scholars. Alongside The City Law School (CLS) Working paper series the forum also aims to promote discussion and debate about legal developments and bring our research to a wider audience.
More information can be found on our City Law Forum webpage.
