The Contemporary China Studies Programme (CCSP) welcomes visitors primarily to conduct research activity that is aligned with its research agenda and with that of the Oxford School of Global Area Studies (OSGA) and its academic research programmes. The visitor programme exists to facilitate links and collaboration with other universities, governments and organisations, both in the UK and overseas, and to allow academics and practitioners the opportunity to collaborate in research with our School’s academics. Visitors, who must be nominated and hosted by a permanent academic member of staff at the School, may be associated with the CCSP for different purposes and for varying periods. All visitor applications must be reviewed and approved by the CCSP Management Committee in advance of any visit.

Before completing an application form to become a visitor, please read the OSGA Visitors policy & procedure and familiarise yourself with the Visitor application process document. In particular, it is recommended that prospective applicants consider who in the School might be able to offer appropriate support as an Academic Host and contact them for advice before applying to the Academic Visitor Programme.

Please ensure that you submit a complete application with all the required information.

Once you have submitted your application, your identified Academic Host and associated the CCSP Administrator will be asked to review before it is submitted to the Programme Management Committee for approval.

Visitors should note that applications will need to be submitted by the following deadlines for the academic year 2024-25 to enable the Management Committee to approve applications:

  • Monday 30 September 2024 (Michaelmas Term Programme Management Committees)
  • Monday 6 January 2025 (Hilary Term Programme Management Committees)
  • Monday 14 April 2025 (Trinity Term Programme Management Committees)

However, visitors requiring a visa and/or ATAS clearance should note that their visit start date may be impacted and/or delayed by the visa/ATAS process.

Visitor fees

Standard OSGA fees: visitors will be charged £250 per month or £600 per term.

Programmes may use their discretion in setting fees relating to Academic Visitors engaged in collaboration (Type A). Programmes may set discretionary fees if providing visitors with desk space agreed by prior arrangement.

The School does not provide salary or other financial payments to visitors. Visitors should apply for research funding schemes through their own institutions. The visitor will also be responsible for their travel, accommodation, visa fees and all maintenance costs.
