Chevening enables emerging leaders from around the world to pursue high-quality, one-year master’s degrees in the United Kingdom.

There is no “typical” Chevening Scholar, but successful candidates tend to have ambition, leadership qualities, and a passion for making positive changes in their home countries.

We encourage you to apply if you meet our eligibility criteria and other requirements. Your gender, age (no upper age limit), sexual orientation, religion, marital or parental status, caste, class, or other attributes do not matter to us. What matters is your ability to present a well-considered application demonstrating that you can excel in an intensive master’s course in the UK and have a clear vision for your future.
