Structure

METHODOLOGY

In-class learning: Our lectures are tailored to provide real-world insights and a diverse range of industry perspectives that are unavailable through traditional forms of education. Learning from accomplished policy and political leaders from across the globe, who bring a cumulative 500+ years of government experience from 5 continents, will fundamentally change the way you view government, your careers, and your role in society. The fellowship program promises a transformative experience, critical to success in the public sector of the future.

Industry learning: Across the 2 months every fellow works on a real world social industry project that supplements their in-class learning experience. The fellows work in groups to meet the needs of their client and will have weekly check-ins with them to ensure the successful execution of the project. The work is self-paced, providing the fellows with the flexibility to work at their own convenience.

EVALUATION & GRADUATION

Upon successful completion of the program, fellows will receive a Graded Diploma from FEELL and a Work Certificate issued by the industry partner for the successful execution of the 2-month industry project.

Attendance for fellowship sessions is mandatory. To graduate, fellows must achieve a grade C or higher. FEELL places a strong emphasis on real-world relevance over traditional rote learning. Instead of traditional exams, evaluations in the form of case studies and simulations are conducted after each module, with final grades being determined through a combination of in-class performance, module evaluations, and industry project performance.

TIME COMMITMENT

Approx 12-15 hrs/week (Including all in-class, self work & industry project commitments). All lectures and fellowship commitments are conducted in the evenings or over the weekends so as to not coincide with any full-time work or university commitments of the fellows.

SCHEDULE

In addition to the above schedule, Fellows are expected to spend an average of 7 hrs/week of self work on the industry project.

Note- This is a representative schedule only, subject to change based on faculty availability.
