Atlantic Fellows
FOR SOCIAL EQUITY
Indigenous-led social change
The Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity (AFSE) is a life-changing fellowship for Indigenous social equity in Australia, Aotearoa and the Pacific region.
Based at the University of Melbourne, the AFSE program represents a 20-year investment in Indigenous-led social change through a powerful network of Fellows.
It has two features:
Foundation Year
An intensive foundation year with a postgraduate qualification at the University of Melbourne (fee-free).
Fellows pursue a master degree in social change leadership at the University of Melbourne.
They attend 38 days of sessions, which are delivered intensively, to complete six modules within a year.
During their studies, Fellows develop their social change project, which they present during the final module at the end of the year.

Global Fellowship
Lifetime membership in the Global Atlantic Fellows, a community of change-makers from seven international Atlantic Fellows hubs.
After completing the foundation year, Fellows become Global Atlantic Fellows and attend their first gathering with other Fellows from the seven hubs around the world.
This lifelong, worldwide network is managed and overseen by the Atlantic Institute, based in Oxford, England.
As of 2023, there are a total of 683 Fellows from more than 70 countries.
