About Chevening Scholarships
Chevening enables outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue one-year master’s degrees in the UK.
Chevening is the UK government’s international scholarship programme. Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and partner organisations, we offer awards to study in the UK for one year on a fully funded master’s degree course.
Successful Chevening candidates come from a diverse range of countries and backgrounds, but they all demonstrate the passion, vision and skills needed to shape a better world.
There are many benefits to being selected, including fully funded tuition fees, access to some of the best quality education in the world, exclusive networking opportunities, and the chance to explore the UK’s diverse culture.

Courses.
Applicants are required to select three course choices when applying for a Chevening Award. This means that you will have alternative options if, for any reason, you are not offered a place on your first course option. It also provides our assessors with a clearer picture of your career goals and they may suggest your second or third course choice as a more suitable option for a Chevening Award.
Choose your three courses carefully.
You will not be able to change your course choices after submitting your application unless you are granted permission to do so at the interview stage.
You will need to apply separately to your selected courses directly via the university.
Please apply as soon as possible to ensure you get a place.
To be awarded a scholarship, you must get an unconditional offer for one of your course choices by the deadline in our application timeline for your application year.
