India’s urban transition is unprecedented in scale and complexity. Within it lie both the opportunities of increased
economic growth and employment as well as the challenges of persistent inequality, extreme deprivation and
environmental degradation. Be a part of shaping this transition.

The Urban Fellows Programme (UFP) is a fully funded, nine-month, full-time, inter-disciplinary fellowship for
recent graduates and young professionals from varied educational backgrounds or practice domains.

The UFP 2016-17 will be based out of the IIHS Bangalore City Campus. The first batch of 35 Fellows
will start in August, 2016 and graduate in May, 2017.

It is committed to the principle of not discriminating against individuals on the basis of personal beliefs or characteristics such as caste, class, religion, region, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability. The Urban Fellows Programme at IIHS is part of this commitment to create supportive teaching and learning environments.  Fellows are also expected to aspire to highest standards of ethics in their personal and professional interactions.
