British High Commission in Dhaka has invited applications for the UK Government’s Chevening South Asian Journalism Fellowship.
Applications for the UK Government's Chevening South Asian Journalism Fellowship (SAJP) are open from 6 August 2024 to 10 October 2024.
The High Commission said prospective candidates can submit their applications via https://www.chevening.org/fellowship/sajp/
The Chevening South Asia Journalism Fellowship is aimed at mid-career journalists from South Asian countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives.
The programme comprises eight intensive weeks of lectures, visits, and discussions that introduce SAJP fellows to key UK academics, media, and political figures in the field.
They will also meet their peers in the UK’s top media organisations. The fellowship is fully funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office and hosted by the University of Westminster.
The programme offers an opportunity to explore the range of approaches taken by the UK and the South Asian region, and then use that knowledge to direct discussions that tackle the big issues challenging the field.
