Fellowship Application

There are three sections to the application process. We would encourage you to write and save your answers in a separate document and then paste them into the application form, to ensure you don’t lose them. Please fill out your contact details before answering the application questions and data gathering section. The application questions are:

1. Who is your favourite contemporary thinker that deserves more mainstream attention and why? (100 words)
2. What do you want to be doing in 10 years’ time, and what are you doing now to get there? (100 words) – no bonus point for humility
3. How has your worldview developed over time? Feel free to mention thinkers, books, political leaders, or anyone else that has influenced you. (400 words)
4. In your opinion, what are the three most important policy challenges that aren’t receiving enough focus in Westminster? (300 words)
5. What have you achieved that is unusual for your peer group? (300 words) – interpret ‘unusual’ however you wish
6. If you had to recommend one piece of art, literature, film, television, or music that says something important about our world today, what would it be? Please briefly explain your answer. (100 words)
7. What important truth do very few people agree with you on? (100 words)

You need only submit one application for the Fellowship or Public Leadership Programme. If we think you’re better suited to the other programme, we’ll consider your application for that too.
