΢��ҕ�l

The ΢��ҕ�l is proud of the magnificent bequest left by a distinguished former student John Angus Erskine. This bequest enables some 70 Visiting Erskine Fellowships to be awarded each year to international academics to teach students in Erskine eligible schools and departments.

In addition to the Erskine Fellowships, the ΢��ҕ�l also offers a smaller number of teaching fellowships called Canterbury fellowships, Cambridge fellowships (to academics from the University of Cambridge, UK) and Oxford fellowships (to academics from the University of Oxford, UK) each year. These fellowships are typically awarded to non-Erskine eligible schools/departments.����

The Erskine bequest also funds overseas teaching fellowships for up to 25 ΢��ҕ�l academics in eligible departments on what is known as an Erskine Grant.
