Course/programme structure
The 11-week Chevening Gurukul Fellowship for Leadership and Excellence at the University of Oxford starts from the premise that as an economic powerhouse of the global economy, a growing leader in science and technology, and the world’s largest democracy, India is in a pivotal position to drive forward an effective and legitimate institutional international order to meet the emerging challenges to global integration.

Every year twelve selected Gurukul Fellows will be offered an intensive, eleven-week residential course at the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) at the University of Oxford to study and address these challenges through three fundamental and interlocking components focusing on academic understanding, policy relevance and personal development.



This innovative programme will familiarise India’s future leaders with an understanding of the contemporary opportunities and challenges of global integration, the leadership skills to play a leading role in meeting them, and the knowledge to translate this into policy and practice.

Gurukul Fellows will be exposed to current issues and themes impacting global leadership, including:

  1. The economics of global integration: growth, trade, regulation and deregulation
  2. The role of science and technology: climate change, the internet, technological inter-connectedness, cyber security
  3. International governance and government of the nation-state: the UN, WTO and trade agreements, the European Union and Brexit
  4. Social challenges of and to global integration: migration, refugees, inequality and intolerance
  5. The new politics of support and opposition to global integration: nationalism and internationalism, security and conflict
  6. Personal development and leadership skills

The course includes numerous site visits in the UK and Europe, researching and presenting a public policy plan to be developed throughout the course, and a varied cultural programme designed to integrate Gurukul Fellows into the academic and cultural life of the University and Department, along with building their professional networks.
