It is the policy of the British School at Rome to offer full or equivalent access to all users. The School aims to support full participation by residents in all aspects of its academic and social life. The School is a small institution but will offer its resources, staff and equipment to address the needs of staff, awardees or visitors with disabilities wherever it can.
Applicants with special needs are requested to contact the Registrar before submitting their application to discuss their requirements.
“The BSR culture was like nothing I’d experienced before, I really loved the cross disciplinary exchanges / friendships and how this feeds into a broader understanding of Rome and it’s history, studio practice and research.”
Kate Mackeson, Augusta Scholar 2018–19
“The fellowship gave me a new confidence in my practice as an artist – and above all, I benefited immensely from the conversations and friendships I made with fellow artists and academics from other disciplines.”
Sinta Tantra, The Bridget Riley Fellow 2016–17
“I have no doubt that the Scholars’ Prize was of fundamental importance to my future practice. The experience changed how I think about my own work and helped define the questions I wanted to pursue in the future.”
Morgan Gostwyck-Lewis (winner of the Scholars’ Prize in Architecture, 2016–17)
