Visiting Scholars: There are three schemes through which external scholars can apply to spend time as a visiting or honorary scholar in English or Drama at QMUL.

Visiting PhD Students: The Departments of English and Drama invite suitably qualified students enrolled on PhD programmes at other institutions to visit Queen Mary as Postgraduate Research Visiting Students for a period of one to twelve months. Students are assigned a mentor with whom they can meet to discuss their project (though not for formal supervision). Students have access to libraries at Queen Mary University of London and to the University of London’s Senate House Library, as well as QMUL networks and relevant buildings. They can also use other London resources such as those at the British Library and elsewhere. 

QMUL Distinguished Visiting Fellows: The Departments of English and Drama welcomes academics as part of QMUL’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Distinguished Visiting Fellows Scheme. The scheme provides free on-campus accommodation for a period of between one and three weeks. Fellows on this scheme are expected to present research in the Department and to contribute to PhD training.

Visiting and Honorary Scholars: The School of the Arts at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) invites suitably qualified scholars of postdoctoral standing to visit us as Visiting Scholars or Honorary Scholars for a period of up to three years. Both groups of titles are important means by which the university establishes relationships with people who are distinguishing themselves either in their own academic institutions or elsewhere in fields of activity where Queen Mary would benefit from association.

The QMUL Joint Research Management Office can support match-making for visiting researchers.
