Prospective visitors must follow the application process outlined below. The Philosophy Faculty reserves the right to reject applications at its discretion.
In order to apply to become an Academic Visitor, you will need to complete an Academic Visitor Application Form (Word) and return it to the Administrative Assistant on admin@philosophy.ox.ac.uk along with a Curriculum Vitae, a list of publications and a copy/scan of your current passport. Applications will be considered at three points during the year after the end of each term, and therefore must be received by us by the last day of term. Applications received after the relevant deadlines will be considered at the next available gathered field. Details of Oxford University term dates can be found here. The gathered fields for the academic year 2024/25 are as follows:
Deadline 1: Saturday 7 December 2024
Deadline 2: Saturday 15 March 2025
Deadline 3: Saturday 21 June 2025
On arrival you will be invited to attend a brief induction to the Faculty with the Administrative Assistant. You will be shown around the Facilities available to you in the Philosophy Faculty and provided with any paperwork that you might need.
Academic Visitors from overseas may need to obtain a visa to enter the UK. In the event that a visa is required, the faculty will provide you with an appropriate supporting letter for your visa application, but please be aware that we are unable to assist with any aspect (financial or administrative) of the application process. Applicants are required to ensure that they have obtained in advance of their visit any visa which is required in order to enable them to enter the UK under the appropriate status. A formal letter of invitation will be issued by the Faculty.
