Professional communication

How to contact a fellowship programme professionally

A focused enquiry makes it easier for a programme to assess your question and reduces avoidable correspondence.

Before writing

  • Read the current programme and application pages
  • Check whether the intake is open
  • Confirm your likely eligibility
  • Identify the one or two facts that remain unclear
  • Use the official programme contact route

Structure the message

  • State your name, current role and country
  • Name the exact programme and intended intake
  • Summarise relevant training in one sentence
  • Ask specific questions about eligibility or participation
  • Attach documents only when invited
  • Close with a clear, courteous next step

Avoid weak signals

Do not send a generic mass email, claim eligibility you have not established, request guaranteed acceptance or ask the recipient to repeat everything already published. Never send sensitive identity documents to an unverified address.
