Applications are now open for the 2026/2027 University of Oxford Reuters Institute Journalism Fellowship Programme. The Journalist Fellowship Programme at the Reuters Institute is one of the world’s leading schemes for practising, mid-career journalists to take some time out from their day jobs to explore journalism in depth. The majority of our Journalist Fellows are fully-funded and they also receive a stipend to cover living and travel costs.
WORTH
- Most journalists on the programme are fully funded. Successful applicants get their fees covered and receive a monthly stipend of £2,000, which will be enough to cover the cost of accommodation, food, and general living expenses.
- The program will also cover the cost of travel to and from the UK and any visa costs. Fellows should refrain from professional work during the fellowship.
ELIGIBILITY
- To be considered for one of the journalist fellowships, you must have a minimum of five years’ journalistic experience, or in rare cases demonstrate the equivalent level of expertise. Freelancing is not a barrier to application, but we do not accept applications from those working in public affairs, public relations or corporate communications.
- The Journalist Fellowships are open to journalists from all over the world, including Europe, Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, North America, and Latin America.
- Applicants must plan to return to journalism after completing their fellowship.
- English language proficiency is not tested, but you will be able to understand and join in discussions in English.
To apply and for more information,
DEADLINE: February 13, 2026.
