Teaching & Research

Since the college was founded, we’ve relied on Fellows for the teaching and wider development of our students. Alongside their teaching responsibilities – and for some, tutorial responsibilities too – Fellows are also encouraged to continue with their own research. This is a critical contribution to our globally recognised research-led university.

Over the years, your donations have helped us both attract and support many brilliant academics. They’ve funded Fellowships for those in fields spanning molecular biology, economics, mathematical sciences, and paediatric brain tumour research.

Attracting and retaining Fellows who are at the top end of their field but also keen to engage fully in college life is vital to continued academic excellence at Emma, but it’s no longer a given. Your donations will help us remove some of the obstacles to Fellows’ full participation in college life and deepen our support for their research in the years to come.

If you are interested in making a transformational gift to fund a Fellowship at Emma, please get in touch; the Development Director would be very happy to discuss possibilities with you.
